1.5 million euros for the region: foundations set signs of hope!

In a solemn ceremony in the foyer of the Ulm town hall, the Conrad Keifl Foundation presented two major encounters to promote civic engagement in the region. The Ulm Citizens' Foundation received an impressive 1,000,000 euros in the form of a foundation fund, while the Neu-Ulm Foundation-help with a heart is supported with 500,000 euros. This is a clear commitment to solidarity and the joint cohesion, in which both Mayor Martin Ansbacher and Mayor Katrin Albsteiger showed great interest.

These generous encounters are more than just numbers; They are a sign of lively responsibility and social engagement. Ansbacher praises the significant role of the foundations for the region. "This support is a strong signal that we stand together for our fellow human beings," he emphasized. Albsteiger also turned to the Conrad Keifl Foundation with gratitude. According to her, the administration clearly shows how important commitment and responsibility are in our community.
