What Fsd-stiftung does

FSD-Stiftung (Stiftung zur Förderung sozialer Dienste Berlin) is a charitable civil law foundation founded on May 14, 2001, headquartered in Berlin and operating across Berlin and Brandenburg. As a Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts, it is subject to state supervision by Berlin's Senate Administration for Justice and operates as a non-profit holding entity combining three functions: foundation (project funding), shareholder (of six wholly-owned nonprofit subsidiaries), and direct facility operator. Beneficiary base exceeds 15,000 people annually across four primary segments: youth and unaccompanied minor refugees, homeless individuals, elderly requiring care, and people with disabilities.

The foundation's service portfolio is delivered through an integrated subsidiary and sub-brand network. Core operating subsidiaries include FSE Pflegeeinrichtungen gGmbH (four inpatient nursing facilities serving approximately 550–560 elderly residents with specialized dementia, severe obesity, and Korsakow syndrome care), FSD Lwerk Berlin-Brandenburg gGmbH (1,000+ workshop places for people with disabilities), FSD FAMOS gGmbH (ambulatory child and youth welfare services across Berlin), FSE Catering- und Service gGmbH (1,500 daily meals produced via Cook&Chill), and Aller Hand Services gGmbH (an inclusion company with ~40 workers, ~50% with disabilities). The foundation directly operates the Erstaufnahme- und Clearingstelle (EAC) for unaccompanied minor refugees, three transitional housing facilities (~250 places), a 24/7 emergency shelter for women in Kreuzberg (65 places, opened November 2023), and the WG Dialog shared living communities for youth aged 15–21. Staff count was 144 in education and social services disciplines as of April 2024.

Revenue is funded primarily through public cost carriers (Entgelte öffentlicher Kostenträger) — specifically the Berlin Senate administrations for education/youth/family, health/social affairs, and the district offices (Bezirksämter) — supplemented by donations and grants. The foundation does not disclose specific revenue figures; annual reports are referenced but not published online. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as the model relies on negotiated public sector contracts rather than market-rate pricing. The foundation reports no parent company, no external investors, and awards are limited to participation in the Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft (Transparency International).
