Stiftung Gib Bildung eine Chance

The "Give Education a Chance" Foundation was established by Lothar and Elisabeth Franke to promote education and equal opportunities. The foundation supports both existing educational projects and its own initiatives that advocate for equal opportunities in education. A particular focus is placed on supporting children and young people in school and higher education. The foundation is involved in projects that improve reading and learning skills, support career choice and vocational preparation, and award scholarships. Another objective is the promotion of sports, especially school sports. The foundation works closely with educational institutions and places great importance on cooperation with extracurricular organizations.

The "Give Education a Chance" Foundation aims to establish education as a desirable life goal and to promote equal opportunities in education. It seeks to inspire children and young people about education and help them learn how to learn. The foundation believes in the importance of education for future career paths and is committed to ensuring that education is not dependent on social background. It supports projects that sustainably and permanently inspire enthusiasm for education and foster personal development as well as social skills.

The target group of the foundation includes children and adolescents, particularly those disadvantaged due to their social background. The foundation is aimed at schools, educational institutions, associations, organizations, and private individuals who wish to initiate or support innovative and sustainable educational projects. A special focus is placed on projects carried out in environments where interest in education is initially low. The foundation also supports projects that promote reading, language, and learning skills as well as personal development.
