SOS-Kinderdörfer weltweit Hermann- Gmeiner-Fonds Deutschland e.V

The ChildInvest Foundation is an independent umbrella foundation that, since its founding in 2001, then known as Hermann-Gmeiner-Stiftung, has been committed to promoting the self-determined future of children and young people worldwide. In 2023, it was strategically developed and renamed to remain sustainable and future-proof in the long term[1][3].

The Mission of the ChildInvest Foundation is to effectively support the programs of SOS-Kinderdörfer worldwide. Through the professional management of the foundation's assets, it is ensured that the commitment of its founders is implemented effectively and in the long term[3]. The foundation is committed to supporting disadvantaged children and young people by promoting education, upbringing and health projects[5].

The ChildInvest Foundation offers diverse funding opportunities for private individuals and companies:

• Foundations: A legally capable foundation enables long-term and flexible funding with an individual foundation name and purpose[2][3].
• Foundation Funds: These funds can be set up with little bureaucracy and enable targeted support for projects[4].
• Endowments: An opportunity to increase the foundation's capital and thus strengthen the long-term support of disadvantaged young people[4].
• Loans: Interest-free loans for short-term support of the SOS-Kinderdörfer[4].

The foundation attaches great importance to transparency and measurability of its projects. Through professional asset management, it is ensured that the proceeds are used effectively to support the projects of the SOS-Kinderdörfer[1][3]. The ChildInvest Foundation ensures that the investments are in line with the values and goals of the SOS-Kinderdörfer and thus have a positive social impact[1].

Through cooperation with its founders, the foundation develops tailor-made solutions to support the projects of the SOS-Kinderdörfer on site and bring about long-term changes[3]. The close cooperation with the sponsors makes it possible to select and promote projects individually, which offers a high degree of flexibility and effectiveness[2][3].

The ChildInvest Foundation is also committed to long-term and sustainable financing and is working to create a stable asset base in order to continuously bring about positive changes[3].
