As KfW Stiftung we address the major social issues of the future and actively shape change in society with our commitment.
Arts and Culture
Art and culture react to social processes, analyze, reflect and question them. Art and culture provide impetus and create new spaces for thought - and thus promote and demand change.
Ecology
The consequences of climate change and the loss of biodiversity pose a major threat to humanity. Our sustainable actions in the coming years will determine what effects the next generations will face and how we can shape change.
Economy and society
Social and technological transformations are changing the way we live and work. Changes are perceived as a threat. As a result, social and economic stability is in danger of dwindling and our democracy is coming under pressure. Understanding change as an opportunity and deriving responsible action from it shapes positive change.
Society
Our projects that focus on social engagement support people as they find their place in life and take on an active role in their environment. In consultation with our partners, we support a pluralistic and tolerant society. We use educational approaches to increase people’s awareness of diversity as a positive and enriching aspect of community life. KfW Stiftung is convinced that personal experience with different people and issues contributes to better mutual understanding.
