Mission & Vision
We are committed to providing young people with sustainable and individualized educational opportunities. Our goal is to combine traditional foundation management with innovative concepts to support both high-achieving and financially needy adolescents and students. In doing so, we promote commitment and talent and enable donors to effectively implement their own educational initiatives.
Target groups
The funding programs are aimed at talented and socially committed pupils and students with demonstrated financial need. In addition, special initiatives such as PlanBildung support young people facing academic and social challenges. Donors and contributors who wish to initiate educational projects or establish independent foundations constitute another part of the target group.
