Munich Wiesn Foundation: charitable help for 22 years

The Munich Wiesn Foundation was established in 1999 by the Wiesnwirte and the breweries represented at the Wiesn. The focus of the foundation is to support people in need and social institutions, in particular youth care, assistance for the elderly, public health and welfare in the area of the City of Munich.

Peter Inselkammer, spokesman for the Wiesnwirte: "Our concern is to help people who are not doing so well. Children are particularly close to our hearts". In 2001, the first action of the foundation was to enable the Münchner Tafel to buy a new delivery van. In the following years, the foundation supported, among other things, the distribution of breakfast to Munich children in need, the care of traumatised children, meals for senior citizens in need as well as activities of the Christophorus Hospice Association.

The Munich Wiesn Foundation is supported not only by the Wiesn hosts but also by the Stadtsparkasse München and the Verein Münchener Brauereien. The Wiesn Foundation helps quickly and without long bureaucratic channels. Associations and social projects can apply for funding at the Munich regional office of the German Foundation Centre.
