Stiftung ANTENNE BAYERN hilft

Stiftung ANTENNE BAYERN hilft is a charitable foundation based in Ismaning, Bavaria, Germany. It was originally created shortly after the launch of the Bavarian radio station ANTENNE BAYERN in 1989, when it operated as a non-profit association (gemeinnütziger Verein) under the name "ANTENNE BAYERN hilft." On 17 December 2002, it was reorganized as a foundation, becoming a public-law civil foundation (öffentliche Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts) with its seat in Ismaning. The foundation is subject to the legal supervision of the Government of Upper Bavaria (Regierung von Oberbayern) and to tax auditing by the tax office. The foundation's mission is to support people in Bavaria who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own, typically due to illness or disability. Under § 53 of the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung), it assists individuals who, because of their physical, mental, or emotional condition, depend on the help of others and are in financial need. The foundation raises donations and distributes funds to individuals and to charitable projects, often in partnership with hospitals and social institutions. One documented example of its work is a donation of €17,480 to the Dr. von Haunerschen Kinderspital in Munich, presented to Ms. Guggy Borgolte of the Hauner Verein. The funds supported two projects: the acquisition of modern monitoring equipment for newborns, allowing babies at risk of breathing interruptions to be monitored in their mother's room, and the creation of five rooming-in rooms to strengthen the bond between mother and child while ensuring medical safety. The foundation maintains a website with a donation form, information on its charitable work, FAQs, and details about its governing bodies. It operates primarily in Bavaria and is closely associated with the radio station ANTENNE BAYERN, which serves as its namesake and public platform.

Stiftung ANTENNE BAYERN hilft traces its origins to the launch of the Bavarian radio station ANTENNE BAYERN in 1989. Shortly after the station began broadcasting, the charitable initiative "ANTENNE BAYERN hilft" was established as a non-profit association (gemeinnütziger Verein). In this form, it operated until 2002, raising funds and providing assistance to people in need in Bavaria. On 17 December 2002, the organization was converted into a foundation, becoming a public-law civil foundation (öffentliche Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts) with its seat in Ismaning, Bavaria. Since then, it has continued its charitable mission under the legal supervision of the Government of Upper Bavaria and the tax auditing of the responsible tax office. The foundation's purpose, as defined under § 53 of the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung), is to support people who, due to their physical, mental, or emotional condition, depend on the help of others and are in financial need. It fulfills this purpose primarily by collecting donations and distributing them to individuals and to charitable projects, often in cooperation with hospitals, social institutions, and other organizations in Bavaria. A documented example of its grant-making is a donation of €17,480 to the Dr. von Haunerschen Kinderspital in Munich, presented on 8 May 2026 to Ms. Guggy Borgolte of the Hauner Verein. The funds supported two projects: the acquisition of modern monitoring equipment for newborns, which allows babies with adjustment disorders or at increased risk of breathing interruptions to be monitored directly in their mother's room, and the creation of five rooming-in rooms to strengthen the bond between mother and child while ensuring medical safety. The foundation maintains a public website that provides a donation form, information about its work, FAQs, details on individual cases, and information about its governing bodies. It operates under the name "Stiftung ANTENNE BAYERN hilft" and is closely associated with the radio station ANTENNE BAYERN, which serves as its namesake and a key public platform for its fundraising and awareness activities.
