Kinderkrebs Stiftung

The German Childhood Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization that has been fully committed to the health and well-being of children and adolescents with cancer since its founding in 1994.

• Research Funding: The foundation is one of the largest funders in pediatric oncology in Germany and finances clinical and patient-oriented research projects to improve the chances of recovery and therapies for children with cancer[2][4].
• Support for Families: It offers affected families competent advice and information as well as financial assistance in emergencies through the social fund[2][4].
• Rehabilitation and Leisure: The foundation operates the Waldpiraten Camp in Heidelberg and the SyltKlinik, a rehabilitation facility that specializes exclusively in the care of children with cancer and their relatives[2][4].

The main mission of the German Childhood Cancer Foundation is to ensure that children with cancer can recover and that their quality of life and future opportunities are not inferior to those of other children. The foundation places great importance on responsible action, transparency, and the proper use of donations[2][4].

• Long-term Research: Through consistent and sustainable research funding, the foundation aims to reduce or avoid long-term and late effects of cancer in children and adolescents[4].
• Corporate Partnerships: Companies can engage through various models, such as direct donations, targeted project support, in-kind donations, or participation in charity products, thereby taking on social responsibility[1].
• Employee Motivation: The foundation also offers initiatives to motivate employees of companies to engage in charitable activities through sports or joint fundraising campaigns[1].
