Ralf Rangnick – Stiftung

The Ralf Rangnick Foundation e.S. was established in 2018 as a personal passion project of football coach and sports manager Ralf Rangnick. Based in Leipzig, it supports long-term and sustainable educational projects at primary schools in the areas of physical activity, healthy nutrition, STEM (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology), as well as music & creativity. The goal is to provide children, regardless of their social background, with the best conditions for the individual development of their abilities and thereby strengthen equal opportunities. Among the outstanding projects are, among others, "Sattelfest" (mobile youth traffic school), "Healthy & Cool" (nutrition and sports), "Companies in Schools" (business cooperation), as well as environmental and reading promotion initiatives.

The Ralf Rangnick Foundation initiates, develops, and supports innovative educational projects to promote children’s personal and social development. Our mission is to connect educational stakeholders and the business community and to enable a new quality of schooling through practical, interdisciplinary offerings. We believe in the transformative power of physical activity, healthy nutrition, scientific curiosity, and artistic creativity, and we are committed to giving every child the opportunity to discover and sustainably develop their talents.

The funding programs are primarily aimed at primary schools in Leipzig and the surrounding regions, as well as educators and teachers who wish to implement educational offerings in the areas of movement, nutrition, STEM, and creativity. The target group consists of children aged approximately 6 to 11 years, who are supported in their motor, cognitive, and creative development through project-based and interactive formats.
