Geschwister Gummi Stiftung

What Geschwister Gummi Stiftung does

Geschwister-Gummi-Stiftung is a charitable foundation (Stiftung) under German law, established in 1915 in Kulmbach, Bavaria, and recognized as one of the leading child and youth welfare providers in Northern Bavaria. Originally operated as an orphanage, the foundation has evolved into a multi-service social organization operating seven therapeutic residential groups (heilpädagogische Wohngruppen), the Kinderhaus Sternstunden, outpatient support services (Ambulante Hilfen) including the GeborGen 0-3 program, a child protection center (Kinderschutz-Zentrum), a heilpädagogical day facility (HPT), and the DoMiNo prevention project for children of mentally ill parents. It is governed by a managing executive board (Geschäftsführender Vorstand Jürgen Dippold) and operates within the Diakonie Verbund Kulmbach network; tax-exempt status is confirmed under German charitable law.

The foundation's service portfolio extends into education and vocational training. The Jugendwerkstatt, established in 1986 and AZAV-certified, provides apprenticeships and employment preparation in carpentry, painting, and commercial laundry serving Diakonie facilities and the food industry. The foundation runs school-based youth social work (JaS) at the Hans-Edelmann-Mittelschule, Johannes-Kepler-Realschule Bayreuth, Gesamtschule Hollfeld, Friedrich-Baur-Mittelschule Stadtsteinach, and Friedrich-von-Ellrodt-Mittelschule Neudrossenfeld, plus multiple after-school care facilities (Schülerhorte) and open all-day school programs (Offene Ganztagsschulen) with combined capacity of approximately 195 children. The Familientreff multi-generational house offers parenting courses (PEKiP, Musikgarten, Krabbelgruppen), a family café, the KuKATZ second-hand shop, the TüftlerTreff repair workshop, and senior programs. The Fachdienst Hort, founded in 2020, is described as unique in the Kulmbach district.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: government service contracts from Bavarian state entities (Land Bayern via StMAS, Bezirk Oberfranken, Jobcenter Kulmbach, Agentur für Arbeit Bayreuth-Hof), public donations via IBAN, PayPal, and dedicated campaigns, and modest workshop service fees from commercial laundry, carpentry, and painting. No proprietary technology platform is operated; customer-facing community programs (PEKiP €120, Musikgarten €90, fitness courses €120) are priced at unit one-time fees. The organization serves at-risk children and youth, families with children, migrant youth, disadvantaged youth, and seniors across Landkreis Kulmbach and surrounding municipalities in Northern Bavaria.
