The Werner Vyghen-Stiftung supports vulnerable and disadvantaged children and youth in Germany and abroad, with a clear emphasis on practical, direct-help projects. Its giving centers on sustainable initiatives that improve education, health, poverty relief, and the establishment or operation of children’s homes and day-care facilities. The grantee list suggests a strong preference for hands-on, child-focused organizations and site-specific projects such as equipment, renovations, camps, medical support, and trauma/resilience services.
Invite-only project funding for child-focused initiatives, typically supporting tangible, sustainable needs rather than unrestricted operating grants. The foundation appears to fund a mix of small-to-midsize practical projects in Germany and selected international locations, including renovations, equipment, care services, and program support.
