Stiftung FORUM KINTSUGI

The foundation's purpose is to integrate the philosophy of Kintsugi - accepting and valuing imperfection - into social projects and programs. The goal is to support individuals and communities both domestically and internationally in dealing with fractures and challenges, and to derive strength and new perspectives from them. The foundation promotes individuals, projects, and initiatives that strengthen personal growth, social cohesion, and community development. It creates spaces where constructive and appreciative dialogues are possible, placing particular emphasis on empathy and respectful treatment of individual needs and perspectives. These projects include educational offerings and initiatives that transfer openness, understanding, and support into social contexts. Individuals and communities in difficult life situations are accompanied to find new paths and promote social activities. Furthermore, the foundation can also provide project contributions or collaborate with other organizations, networks, and institutions to enable the implementation of innovative and effective initiatives. To achieve the foundation's purpose, the foundation can establish or participate in companies, associations, or other foundations. Additionally, it can acquire real estate that serves as infrastructure for the foundation's purpose or contributes to the fulfillment of the foundation's purpose in other ways. The foundation's returns and capital are used entirely and exclusively to fulfill the foundation's purpose. The foundation does not pursue commercial interests and does not strive for profit. Should a profit be generated, it will be used entirely and exclusively to achieve the foundation's objectives.
