Donations & Endowments

Welcome to the website on the theme of donations and endowments at Heidelberg University.

Teaching and research at Heidelberg University play an important role for social development thanks to their diversity. At the same time, education, science and research are the basis for gaining knowledge and achieving progress. When it comes to the preservation of the basis of our natural environment, the fight against diseases or the exploitation of potential of the digital transformation, it is often impulses from the university sector that provide innovative solutions. As a university, we are facing the challenges of our time but with your support we can achieve more.

On the following pages, we would like to show you the wide range of donations at Heidelberg University. Whether you want to get involved for the first time or as a regular supporter and no matter the amount – every contribution counts and makes a difference. Each donation and endowment contribution can enrich research and teaching or open new perspectives for students. We hope you will find some ideas for your personal engagement, on the following pages.

You wish to support a specific purpose or project but have not found what you were looking for on our website or you do have further questions? You have an idea but you do not know how to realise it? Often, there is a series of alternatives depending on whether you wish to make a donation or endowment contribution, e.g. the establishemt of a fiduciary trust or an endowment fund or a bequest for the benefit of the university.

Please feel free to contact us. As the Division for Foundations and Assets, we have many years of experience. We will be happy to answer any questions about your engagement.
