Neumayer Stiftung

The Neumayer Stiftung, founded in 1998, is one of the leading foundations in Germany that advocates for a healthy and engaged society. With its headquarters in the central Black Forest, specifically in Hausach in the Ortenaukreis, the foundation has a deep-rooted connection to its home region.

The Neumayer Stiftung is dedicated to a society where people are there for each other and take responsibility. Its main mission is to contribute to the benefit of society and the well-being of the living conditions of children, men, and women. The foundation relies on the values of participation, inclusion, respect, love of democracy, and charity, which are considered the supporting pillars of social interaction[1][2][4].

The Neumayer Stiftung supports a variety of projects in different areas:

• Education & Training: Here, the focus is on operational child and family education as well as the financing of performance scholarships.
• Charity: In particular, the foundation supports charitable projects locally in the Ortenau.
• Youth and Elderly Care: The foundation is committed to youth and elderly care to help socially disadvantaged people actively participate in society.
• Art & Culture: Projects in art and culture are actively promoted to support cultural education and creativity[1][2][4].

The Neumayer Stiftung is committed not only locally but also nationally and internationally to sustainable projects. Some examples of its initiatives include:

• Regional and International Projects: From education and health projects in Germany to development cooperation projects in countries like Sierra Leone and Romania.
• Support for Socially Disadvantaged Groups: The foundation focuses on supporting people in special life situations to restore their confidence and zest for life.
• Intergenerational Projects: Projects are promoted that focus on socially disadvantaged people and groups across generations, who often go unnoticed[1][3][4].

The Neumayer Stiftung has its roots in the Neumayer family, which has been based in the central Black Forest since the 19th century. Founded by Amanda Neumayer in 1998, the foundation has significantly expanded its work through substantial donations, especially after the sale of company shares in 2005. Today, the Neumayer Stiftung is one of the largest foundations in Germany and continuously works to strengthen society[5].

The Neumayer Stiftung is a vibrant example of how commitment and responsibility can bring about positive changes in society. Through its diverse areas of support and sustainable initiatives, the foundation significantly contributes to improving living conditions and promoting an inclusive and respectful society.
