About us –

We support where help is needed.
We support where help is needed.
Everyone deserves a world without insufficiency, a world where respect and dignity in our interactions with each other are taken for granted. Everyone should live in safety, be well provided, and have access to education. The W. Wegener Foundation supports projects and institutions in Germany, Europe, and Africa, with the goal of closing material and financial gaps and sustainably improving the quality of life, especially for children and young women.
The W. Wegener Foundation is a charitable family foundation established by Wilhelm Wegener († May 2022) in 2016 to support disadvantaged and needy people. At the same time, he always saw his economic success as a social obligation to others. He felt a special connection to the people at the production site of our textile plant in Romania. Promoting education and training, especially for young people, was also one of his central concerns. As a family, it is a matter close to our hearts to continue the foundation in his spirit.
The W. Wegener Foundation is a charitable foundation based in Germany.
We pass on 100% of the financial resources from our own funds and donations to selected projects. All overhead costs incurred by the foundation are borne entirely by the foundation members themselves.
