St. Antonius-Stiftung der Erzdiözese München und Freising

The St. Antonius Foundation of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising is a church foundation under public law in accordance with Art. 21 et seq. of the Bavarian Foundation Act. Established on October 25, 1997, it ensures the promotion of diaconal works and charitable institutions within the Archdiocese through the sustainable use of its annual proceeds. By providing operating funds and real estate, it particularly supports projects that accompany, care for, and promote people in need—such as those affected by physical, mental, or emotional impairments.

The St. Antonius Foundation of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising sees itself as an expression of Christian responsibility and charity (diakonia). In faith and freedom, it promotes diaconal engagement by strengthening ecclesiastical and private initiatives through the provision of financial resources and infrastructure. Its goal is to create sustainable structures for supporting those in need and thus to put diaconal values into practical effect.

The foundation's target group comprises, on the one hand, individuals who require assistance due to their physical, mental, or emotional condition, and on the other hand, church welfare and care institutions in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising that support and accompany these individuals. Furthermore, social projects and institutions that provide diaconal services and thereby promote charitable service to others also benefit.
