Our foundations

Two foundations promote social causes as well as research and science

Josef Schörghuber-Stiftung für Münchner Kinder

The foundation, which was established in 1995 and is administered by Munich's social welfare department, enables children from socially disadvantaged families to take part in programs and activities organized during the school holidays – thus promoting social participation. The funds for the work performed by the foundation come primarily from donations and money raised during charity events organized by the Schörghuber Group, such as a charity golf tournament or oldtimer rally. All the revenue generated flows directly into the measures without any deductions made for administrative costs.

Stefan Schörghuber Stiftung

In 2019, Alexandra Schörghuber and her children Stefanie, Michaela and Florian set up the foundation, which supports children, youth and family-related institutions and projects. In addition to supporting social causes, the foundation also focuses on promoting science and research in Germany. The first major funding project is the Nicolaidis YoungWings Foundation's Sternenhaus, the creation of which would not have been possible without the donation of 3.175 million euros.
