The Foundation

Personal heritage.
Social responsibility.

The Erika und Erwin Schreiter Stiftung is a charitable foundation with its registered office in Bonn. It was founded by Stefan Schreiter and named after his parents, Erika and Erwin Schreiter.

The Foundation supports selected initiatives in education, children and young people, health, social support and international development.
Origins & idea

Values have a source.

The names Erika and Erwin Schreiter represent the Foundation's family roots. Stefan Schreiter gave the Foundation the names of his parents, linking a personal connection with a charitable mission.

At its heart is the conviction that long-term social development requires direction. Education, research and social support achieve their greatest impact when combined with responsibility, reliability and a clear sense of values.

The Foundation therefore sees its engagement not as a short-term intervention, but as a contribution to structures and opportunities that strengthen people over time.

Our perspective

Responsibility is reflected in action.

The Foundation supports selected initiatives with the aim of using its resources responsibly. Strong projects combine a clearly identifiable need with a viable idea and people prepared to take responsibility for implementation.

This perspective shapes both the selection of projects and the way the Foundation works with its partners.
