Stiftung "Herz zeigen"

The "Herz zeigen" Foundation was established in 2015 by committed citizens of the Augsburg region with the support of AWO Augsburg. It promotes regional and sustainable social initiatives in the Augsburg area, particularly in the fields of welfare, healthcare, support for people with disabilities, youth and elderly care, as well as civic engagement. The aim is to support projects in an unbureaucratic and flexible manner that benefit people in undeserved need or with physical and mental impairments. Through the close involvement of a competent board of trustees, which decides on the funding priorities and resources, the foundation guarantees that every donated euro flows 100% directly into social projects.

The Herz zeigen Foundation is committed to the sustainable improvement of social infrastructure in the Augsburg region. Its goal is to provide unbureaucratic, flexible, and impact-oriented support to quickly and effectively assist people in emergency, life, and care situations. The focus is on regional anchoring to directly ensure the success of the funded projects and to strengthen social cohesion in Augsburg.

The funding programs of the Herz zeigen Foundation are aimed at social organizations, initiatives, and community-oriented projects in the Augsburg region. Target groups include, among others, people with disabilities or mental illnesses who require housing and care; children and adolescents in difficult life situations or with family members suffering from serious illnesses; women and children in need of assistance in shelters; initiatives that enable intergenerational living and inclusion. The foundation supports both individual projects and pilot initiatives that contribute to the sustainable improvement of the living and housing conditions of disadvantaged people.
