Director Jörg Rohwedder introduces Bewegungsstiftung
Introductory Days
Introductory Days are intended for anyone who might be interested in making an endowment to Bewegungsstiftung and would like to get to know us, with no obligation whatsoever. Each year we hold about ten Introductory Days in various locations across Germany. These are usually attended by three to eight people.

Ideas for different ways of dealing with your wealth
Being wealthy provides big opportunities, but also raises all sorts of questions. And many people find it hard to know who to approach with these questions in their everyday life. Friends are often not wealthy themselves, in society it is taboo to talk about money, and investment advisers have a professional interest. Wealth that is put to good use – whether you have inherited it or generated it yourself – opens up a whole range of possibilities: you could make your own dreams come true, help out family or friends, or donate some of the money to a »good cause«. But where does money really serve a »good cause«? There are no simple answers to this question. Our seminars, conferences and workshops provide information, aids to decision-making, and the opportunity to talk to like-minded people.
