Selbach-Umwelt-Stiftung
About the funder
The Selbach Environmental Foundation was established by the siblings Erika Littmann and attorney Karl Heinrich Selbach using funds from a family fortune originating in the textile industry. This private, non-profit foundation is based in Munich and supports national projects in environmental protection, climate conservation, nature preservation, and environmental education. It is primarily financed through the returns of its sustainably invested endowment and, in times of low interest rates, also relies on donations. The foundation places great importance on sustainable investments and the support of innovative, local, and international initiatives that contribute to the preservation of natural living conditions.
