Erich Franke Foundation

Education & upbringing

The Franke Foundation is actively involved in helping young people and the elderly in the Ostalbkreis region. We firmly believe that young people and senior citizens deserve special support to improve their quality of life and meet their individual needs.
Through targeted programs and projects, we promote the integration, education and care of children, young people and the elderly in our region to create an inclusive and supportive community.

Education is essential!

As a board member of the Franke Foundation, I am deeply touched by the long-standing relationships between Franke GmbH and organizations that support youth and elderly care in the Ostalbkreis region. These connections have already led to numerous moving projects that have enriched the lives of people in our community.

I encourage anyone who wants to have a positive impact on the lives of young people and seniors to apply to the Erich Franke Foundation. Together we can make a difference and build a supportive community
