ERNST PROST FOUNDATION

The Ernst Prost Foundation helps people in need through no fault of their own so that they can better master their own destinies. At the same time, it has made its task to allow young people to get an education and training. Alongside help for individuals, Ernst Prost has also expanded the purpose of the foundation to the area of charity. This especially includes public healthcare, welfare for the young and the old, parenting, national and vocational training, the welfare system, help for the persecuted, disabled and victims of crime.

Need can affect people of any age and in any situation – from childhood right into retirement age. Need does not discriminate. The rocking horse and rocking chair symbolically stand for this breadth of problems, emergency situations and fates that can befall people in life. The foundation wants to help in just as many ways – quickly and unbureaucratically.

Unemployment, illness and financial problems are the most common causes that set in motion a downward spiral that often deprives people of their livelihood and place in society.

As a charitable foundation, it pursues exclusively charitable goals serving social-charitable purposes. Unfortunately, in the past, foundations have often been associated with tax-saving money-saving models. The Ernst Prost Foundation distances itself from this.
