Monsignore Friedrich Ohlhäuser-Stiftung

The Monsignor Friedrich Ohlhäuser Foundation was established in 2009 by the Baugenossenschaft Familienheim Karlsruhe eG. It supports tenants in distress and at risk, as well as needy individuals and charitable institutions in the city and district of Karlsruhe with financial and material resources. In the spirit of its namesake Monsignor Friedrich Ohlhäuser, an uncompromising advocate of solidarity and a committed man of charity, the foundation operates directly, unbureaucratically, and sustainably. A focus lies on individual assistance for socially disadvantaged families, children, and youth, as well as on the promotion of integrative projects. Furthermore, the foundation organizes benefit events and maintains partnerships with companies and volunteers to offer donors meaningful experiences and to continuously expand its sphere of influence.

We are committed to providing rapid and unbureaucratic assistance to people in precarious life situations. Our goal is to sustainably improve the living conditions of socially disadvantaged families, children, and youth in the Karlsruhe area through direct financial and material support as well as long-term partnerships. Guided by the values of Monsignore Friedrich Ohlhäuser, we promote solidarity, initiative, and integration, connecting helpers and those in need on an equal footing.

Our funding programs are aimed at needy tenants of the Baugenossenschaft Familienheim Karlsruhe eG, socially disadvantaged families, single parents, people in emergency situations, as well as children and young people with limited future prospects in the city and district of Karlsruhe. Potential recipients of our support also include charitable organizations engaged in integrative and preventive projects for disadvantaged target groups.
