Mission & Vision
The KORTE Foundation aims to actively counteract divisions in society and to strengthen cohesion as well as democratic structures in Germany and Europe. With responsibility, transparency, and efficiency, it uses the founder's funds selflessly for the benefit of the community.
Target groups
The funding programs of the KORTE Foundation are aimed at non-profit organizations, initiatives, and projects active in the three pillars of society (e.g., youth and elderly care, education, sports), political education (e.g., assistance for refugees, promotion of democratic governance), and the environment (e.g., monument protection, nature conservation, animal welfare). Both the Foundation's own projects and third-party projects that make a sustainable contribution to social cohesion and the strengthening of democratic values are supported.
