Mission & Vision

Our mission is to open up new perspectives for single parents and their children through unbureaucratic assistance. We aim to provide support with heart and reliability where financial resources and housing are lacking, thereby easing everyday life. Sustainable action and direct aid offerings are at the core of our foundation's purpose.

Target groups

The Marianne Bock Memorial Foundation is aimed at single mothers and fathers as well as expectant mothers who are raising their children without a partner in the household and are experiencing financial hardship. A prerequisite for funding is proof of need according to the Social Code and ideally support from a social counseling center. Our services include direct financial grants and the provision of affordable housing options.
