KJF Regensburg

What KJF Regensburg does

KJF Regensburg (full legal name: Katholische Jugendfürsorge der Diözese Regensburg e. V.) is a Catholic-Caritas-affiliated non-profit registered as an eingetragener Verein under the Diocese of Regensburg, operating as a Wegbegleiter (companion) for children, youth, and adults in challenging life situations. The legal vehicle operates 80+ facilities across Eastern Bavaria spanning child and youth welfare (St. Vincent Kinder- und Jugendhilfe), vocational rehabilitation (Berufsbildungswerk St. Franziskus Abensberg), sheltered workshops (KJF Werkstätten), special education (Papst Benedikt Schule, Pater-Rupert-Mayer-Zentrum, Fachakademie für Heilpädagogik), supported independent living (Ambulant Unterstütztes Wohnen), pediatric specialty services (JumpaKids obesity center, Epilepsie Beratung), premature-infant aftercare (Harl.e.kin-Nachsorge), and youth migration services (Jugendmigrationsdienst). The workforce of approximately 4,500 employees supports roughly 30,000 beneficiaries per year.

The technology stack is operationally conventional: an internal WIKO employee portal, a website integrated with FundraisingBox (WIKANDO GmbH) for encrypted German-hosted donation processing, and standard productivity tooling. The one technology initiative of note is the SoROP social-robotics research project at B.B.W. Abensberg investigating human-robot interaction in vocational rehabilitation. No public APIs, developer platforms, proprietary AI models, or data products were disclosed.

Revenue mechanics combine two streams: (i) public-sector fee-for-service and block contracts with the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs and federal authorities for mandated child-welfare, rehabilitation, and Bundesteilhabegesetz-participation services; and (ii) charitable donations from individuals, corporate partners (e.g., REWAG, LIGA BANK, Lions Club Regensburg-Land), and event-driven fundraising campaigns (Regensburger Weihnachtssingen, Kunst für Kids, Lappersdorfer Benefiztour). Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Governance rests with Director Michael Eibl (20-year incumbent) supported by Deputy Hans Horn, with Domkapitular Michael Dreßel as Chairman. The organization is registered at VR 20 in the Vereinsregister Regensburg with VAT ID DE 133712801.
