Kroschke Kinderstiftung

The Kroschke Children's Foundation was established in 1993 by entrepreneurs Klaus and Christoph Kroschke and has since been committed as a non-profit foundation to supporting chronically ill, disabled, and developmentally at-risk children. Its focus lies in promoting prevention and therapy projects in Northern Germany, particularly in the Braunschweig region and the greater Hamburg area. With a broad funding portfolio – ranging from early assistance and health care to musical education – the foundation supports initiatives that improve the developmental and participation opportunities of disadvantaged children in an unbureaucratic manner. Annual foundation funds in the six-figure range form the financial basis, supplemented by donations from the circle of friends and other private contributions.

"Support – Help – Empower" is the guiding principle of the Kroschke Children's Foundation. It is committed to ensuring that children facing difficult beginnings – whether due to premature birth, chronic illness, disability, or traumatic experiences – receive unbureaucratic assistance. The foundation aims to initiate and strengthen sustainable model projects that set standards in the fields of prevention, therapy, integration, and inclusion, and contribute to the long-term improvement of the health and living conditions of these children.

Children and adolescents who are at risk in their development due to severe illnesses, disabilities, traumatic experiences, or challenging family circumstances are supported. The foundation also assists their siblings, parents, and professional institutions. Special target groups include premature infants, chronically ill children, hearing- and visually impaired children, traumatized young people, as well as initiatives that focus on early support or on musical and therapeutic education to promote the cognitive, emotional, and social development of these children.
