The foundation aims to provide assistance to disadvantaged and needy people around the world, particularly supporting individuals with disabilities and institutions that advocate for them. The support is primarily focused in Switzerland, but can also be provided abroad. In cases of hardship, the descendants of the Frefel family can be helped, for example through educational grants. The foundation serves as a tribute to Martha "Mädi" Frefel, who had limited opportunities in her life due to her disability. As a special tribute to her and the other family members of Katharina Frefel, the foundation supports other people with disabilities and other disadvantaged and needy individuals around the world. The foundation is a non-profit organization and does not pursue any commercial purposes.
