The Stiftungsverwaltung Freiburg is the central administrative unit for six legally independent municipal foundations with a history steeped in tradition dating back to 1255. As one of the largest providers of social facilities in Freiburg, they bundle a wide range of social services under one roof, especially in the areas of Altenhilfe, Kinder- und Jugendhilfe, as well as funding programs for education and training[1][2][3][4].
The main mission of the Stiftungsverwaltung is to use the income of the foundations in accordance with the respective foundation purposes in such a way that social challenges are managed in a socially responsible and sustainable manner. In particular, it is committed to a dignified, self-determined life in old age and supports children and young people who come from difficult family circumstances with individual forms of housing and care. The administration not only takes over the operative control and implementation of the foundation resolutions, but also the comprehensive advice of potential new donors. With around 600 employees, the Stiftungsverwaltung is also a significant social employer in Freiburg[1][2][4].
Another unique selling point is the combination of tradition and modern social responsibility: The Stiftungsverwaltung is located in the historic Adelhauser Kloster, where all business areas - from management, finance to real estate to People & Culture - have been bundled since 2013. The work is consistently oriented towards the individual purposes of the foundations and the current needs of the target groups[2][3][4].
Sustainability is reflected in the long-term security of the foundations and their social services. The Stiftungsverwaltung ensures reliable management of the foundation's assets, the proceeds of which are specifically invested in sustainable social projects. This serves the overriding goal of increasing the social participation and quality of life of disadvantaged people and making Freiburg more socially just. A particularly sustainable aspect is also the preservation of listed properties that are used for social purposes, such as the renovation of the Adelhauser Kloster[1][2][3].
In summary, the Stiftungsverwaltung Freiburg is a modern, tradition-conscious and socially oriented company that makes an important contribution to Freiburg's social infrastructure with professionalized administration, diverse social services and a high standard of sustainability. It combines efficient asset management and social support in the areas of elderly care, childcare and youth care, as well as educational support, and thus has a lasting impact on the well-being of the urban society[1][2][3][4].
