€500,000 for a dignified life in old age. We need more initiatives like this.
In the photo: Stefan Strohmeier, whom I hold in very high regard, and me.
Stefan is Managing Director of the Ferry Porsche Foundation and an incredibly strong supporter of my 🏰 Dinner im Schloss event series. I’m very grateful to him for that 🙌 He will also be joining us again as a Table Captain at this year’s event on 28 April 2026 🙏
That makes me even happier to see what the foundation is organising:
€500,000 in funding for social projects under the motto:
“Growing older together. Growing stronger together.”
The foundation is looking for projects that enable older people to lead active, self-determined and dignified lives.
Focus areas include:
✅ Improving quality of life in old age
✅ Digital skills
✅ Exchange, education and independence
✅ Social participation and real connections between people
Applications open on 9 February, with a deadline in April.
I can only recommend taking a look and getting involved.
I’ll share more information in the comments.
Dear Stefan, thank you for supporting Dinner im Schloss. I have enormous respect for what you and the Ferry Porsche Foundation are making possible.
