Helga Breuninger Stiftung GmbH

What Helga Breuninger Stiftung GmbH does

Helga Breuninger Stiftung GmbH is a German charitable foundation (gemeinnützige Stiftung GmbH) headquartered in Ketzin/Havel, Germany, founded by Dr. Helga Breuninger. The foundation operates at the intersection of education philanthropy and program delivery, serving teachers, school administrators, civil society actors, and local residents primarily in the Havelland region of Brandenburg, with selected programs delivered in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, and across Germany. Its core thesis is relationship-based learning (Beziehungslernen), operationalized through the intus³ (intushochdrei) program.

The foundation's product portfolio centers on the intus³ Beziehungslernen program — a video-based online training system for teacher relationship competence, delivered on the Lernen.cloud platform and supported by a trainer certification program (intushochdrei Trainer:innen-Ausbildung). The program was extended in January 2025 with the intus³ KI-Bots, AI-powered chatbots that provide 24/7 support as trainers, advisors, discussion partners, and coaches. Complementary offerings include the Online Akademie (virtual seminars), the Paretz Akademie (in-person educational venue on a heritage campus), Lernfreude stärken (a youth-facing virtual learning platform launched in 2023), the Paretzer Kamingespräche think tank series, the WasserGeisterSchiff mobile learning project, and the NOOKEE magazine. Locally, the foundation runs Super Suppe (a weekly community soup initiative using surplus food in partnership with EDEKA Dorfmann) and convenes the Innovationsbündnis Havelland network of 70+ partner organizations.

The foundation operates as a registered charitable entity; its primary revenue streams are grants, donations, and sponsorships rather than commercial sales. Educational services such as the Online Akademie and intus³ training are offered free of charge, and Super Suppe operates on a pay-what-you-wish basis. Customer concentration is built around strategic partnerships with public-sector education bodies (NLQ, Schulbezirksamt Essen, University of Potsdam) and the regional Havelland coalition, with distribution via a hybrid model across physical venues, the online academy, and partner schools. The team is small (approximately 7 named staff and program leads), and the foundation does not have disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or commercial revenue.

Revenue model

1. Foundation Operations: As a charitable foundation (gemeinnützige Stiftung), the organization operates primarily through grants, donations, and sponsorships rather than commercial revenue generation. Services such as the Online Akademie are offered free of charge to participants.
2. Community-Supported Programs: Super Suppe operates on a donation/pay-what-you-want model where participants who cook receive soup free, while other guests pay as they wish. This supports community building while generating modest operational support.
