The promotion of forward-looking projects and the strengthening of social cohesion are at the core of its mission.

The funding measures focus on areas that sustainably shape social life. The foundation supports projects in science and research as well as initiatives in healthcare, youth and elderly care, and the arts and culture sector.

Another emphasis lies on animal welfare and the promotion of sporting engagement. Through targeted financial support, initiatives committed to positive social development are encouraged and sustainably strengthened in their work. The continuous funding opportunities provide long-term prospects for the expansion of projects and the implementation of innovative concepts.

The funding philosophy of the Martin-Schmälzle Foundation is based on the conviction that diverse social engagement is central to overcoming social challenges and opening up future opportunities.
