Schneider-Texier-Stiftung

The Schneider-Texier Foundation is a legally capable public foundation under civil law based in Bingen. It was established by the will of Gustav Schneider-Texier on June 27, 1994, and received approval from the Rheinhessen-Pfalz District Government on December 13, 1996. Income is generated from the estate fully incorporated into the foundation's assets in the form of securities income, with which around 100 projects in the greater Bingen area have been supported since its inception, with a total funding volume of approximately €1.3 million. The focus is on supporting kindergartens, schools, church institutions, social services, as well as cultural and municipal initiatives.

The foundation upholds the social commitment of Gustav Schneider-Texier and aims to sustainably support charitable institutions and initiatives in the greater Bingen area. Through financial support of projects in education, culture, social services, and community development, it contributes to enhancing quality of life and community spirit in the region—beyond the founder’s lifetime.

Primarily supported are non-profit organizations and institutions in the city of Bingen and surrounding areas, including kindergartens, schools, church organizations, social services (e.g., hospice services, homeless aid), as well as municipal and cultural projects. Eligible to apply are associations, non-profit companies, and public bodies that plan innovative or urgently needed measures to improve social and cultural life in the region.
