What is a foundation?
A foundation is an organisation that collects money, goods or ideas from people in order to help others or do good.
The foundation uses the money or goods for specific purposes, for example:
The foundation does not belong to anyone privately. It works for the general public or for a specific purpose.
The Andreas Mohn Foundation has been in existence since 9 June 2011. It is based in Bielefeld.
Many good projects fail to get off the ground because just one small piece is missing – for example, help with organisation, new contacts or a little money. Often, this small amount of help is enough to turn something small into something big.
The Andreas Mohn Foundation supports such projects. We help so that people can continue working on their own. We are happy to do so.
We help many vulnerable and poor people in our society. Our team supports them in this.
It is not just a matter of giving them money or assistance in the short term.
Above all, it is important to us to respect and protect the dignity of each individual.
We want everyone to feel valued and to be able to live well.
We want to encourage people to recognise their own strengths and to contribute their unique abilities to society.
Our goal is to live together harmoniously, in a society where everyone is allowed to be different.
We help many poor and vulnerable people in our society. Our team supports them in this.
It is not just a matter of providing poor and vulnerable people with short-term financial assistance.

We want everyone to feel important and to be able to live well.
We want to encourage people to recognise their own strengths and to use their special abilities to participate with others.

We enjoy our work and we feel that spending time with the people we support also enriches our lives.
