AXEL-BOURJAU-STIFTUNG

The Axel-Bourjau-Stiftung is a charitable foundation established in 2005 to support the Büchen area, where founder Axel Bourjau grew up and remains closely connected. Its work focuses particularly on creating opportunities for children and young people, while serving the broader community. The foundation raises and distributes funds for eligible organisations and public-benefit bodies working in art and culture, heritage preservation, education, youth support, and church activities. Funding is primarily intended to benefit people living in Büchen and surrounding communities, though projects elsewhere may be considered in individual cases.

The foundation supports and initiates a range of local projects. Examples include a digital learning and introductory programming course for primary school pupils, new water-and-sand play equipment and wooden play horses for a kindergarten playground, and electric cargo bikes to help nursery staff take young children farther afield. It also encourages applications from clubs and other organisations seeking support for youth activities.
