Ursula-Fischer-Schwanhäußer-und-Gebhard-Schönfelder-Stiftung

The Ursula Fischer-Schwanhäußer and Gebhard Schönfelder Foundation is a legally recognized foundation under civil law, administered by the City of Nuremberg. Founded by Ursula Fischer-Schwanhäußer and Gebhard Schönfelder, it has primarily supported projects with a social as well as musically creative focus since 2017. Its aim is to improve social participation and equal opportunities for children and youth in Nuremberg and, since 2018, also in Berlin. The main areas of emphasis are music, dance, and artistic creativity to promote joy of life, empathy, and solidarity.

The ufs&GS Foundation aims to empower children and young people by conveying appreciation, a sense of belonging, and perspectives. Through creative projects, it promotes trust, democratic understanding, and social competence. In the long term, it thus creates a community of solidarity in which young people can actively participate today and live independently tomorrow.

Socially and culturally disadvantaged children and young people in the Nuremberg region as well as in Berlin, who have limited participation in social life due to their background or life circumstances, are supported. The aim is to pave the way for them towards a self-determined future through creative educational, cultural, and integration programs. Partners include non-profit associations and social institutions that implement relevant projects for this target group.
