Our anniversary brochure

A look back at 30 years of the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung and 15 years of the Doris Leibinger Stiftung.

Our not-for-profit activities

In our funding activities, we enter into cooperations by supporting selected institutions and facilities and being a reliable partner for them over several years. On the other hand, we advertise funding lines for which applications can be submitted. In addition, it is possible to approach us with projects that fit into our funding spectrum. With our own operational projects, such as the Berthold Leibinger Innovations- und Zukunftspreis or the Comic Book Prize, we are actively involved in the social and scientific development process.

Innovationspreis

Science

Science and its findings form the basis for the further development of our society. Curiosity and the creative urge are the driving force. Promoting both is an important concern for us.

Culture

We support cultural initiatives and activities because culture is an invaluable element of social coexistence.

Culture

church

We maintain close ties particularly with the regional Protestant church in Württemberg and support the work of the church’s Diakonie social welfare program. We also provide funding for structural improvements to church buildings and their furnishings.

Social commitment

Supporting disadvantaged people on the fringes of society forms the core of our activities in the "Social" funding area.

“Why does one establish a foundation? There are many reasons, but the strongest motivation is certainly the desire to support and foster special matters of concern.”
