Since 2011, I have been supporting civic engagement with my Dr. Jürgen Rembold Foundation. The non-profit foundation based in Rösrath (Germany) wants to encourage citizens to take responsibility for the community.
“Marketplace for good business” as a prime example of civic engagement
Civic involvement is already strongly practiced in many parts of society, but it can still be developed – especially as a permanent feature of corporate cultures. As a former financial and investment advisor, I would like to personally promote this. After almost ten years of work for the Foundation, I can say with full conviction: "Altruism is the best kind of egoism".
It is not only since Corona that we have known that voluntary work is a supporting element in our society.
With the foundation I would like to encourage people and initiatives to become actively involved and take responsibility. The clearly defined purpose of the foundation allows for a variety of foundation activities. Projects and initiatives from a wide range of areas are supported, such as art and culture, education and training, youth and elderly care, science and research, and environmental and nature conservation.
The foundation’s work is a very personal topic for me. I take a lot of time to select projects and have never regretted an investment.
We support your projects!
We are happy to receive creative suggestions and are happy to help if your project or that of an acquaintance or circle of friends fits in with our foundation! Our criteria for funding can be found on the foundation’s website. Please send us an e-mail to: vorstand@remboldstiftung.de
For me, the “Marktplatz Gute Geschäfte” is a prime example of civic involvement.
I was immediately impressed by the concept. The promise to support the “Marktplatz Gute Geschäfte” as main sponsor was therefore quickly given. Last year’s kick-off event was of great importance for the Rheinisch-Bergisch district. It builds a bridge between companies and civil society and can thus lead to more civic involvement overall.
As a personal fan of competitions, I have agreed to award prizes to the most fruitful and sustainable cooperation as an incentive. Even the Corona-related shift of the second marketplace does not change this promise and I hope that we can reward the most fruitful cooperation and projects with a special prize.
