Focuses on sustainable development, inclusion, and community engagement.
The Montag Stiftungen are an independent, non-profit foundation group based in Bonn, Germany. The group comprises several foundations focused on different areas: Youth and Society, Urban Spaces, Art and Society, and a Think Tank. Their overarching mission is "Acting and Shaping with Social Responsibility," aiming to create an equitable society with a focus on active participation and inclusion. The foundations operate independently on projects in areas such as pedagogical architecture, urban development, arts participation, digital education, and inclusive education. The Carl Richard Montag Förderstiftung holds the group's assets and finances the project work of the individual foundations. While specific financial details are not readily available, the foundations support various initiatives. For example, they are currently developing the "Open Embassy for Democracy" project in Bonn, renovating a historic building to create a space for democratic engagement and the arts. The estimated cost for this project is 8-10 million euros. The Montag Stiftungen work collaboratively with local communities, municipalities, and other organizations to develop and implement their projects. They emphasize long-term, sustainable solutions and seek to generate practical knowledge that can benefit politics, science, business, and society at large.
