Josef Wund Foundation

The Josef Wund Foundation was founded by the architect and entrepreneur Josef Wund. In his sense, it provides impulses for social progress and supports committed people with creative, unusual solution approaches for central challenges of our time. The focus is on projects in the areas of education, health and creativity. The topic of water plays a superordinate role.
