The Paul Derendinger Foundation is a family foundation that aims to support all descendants of Paul Derendinger's 16 siblings (excluding the descendants of his sister Marie-Elisa Peter) who, through no fault of their own, have fallen into a difficult economic situation due to illness, disability, infirmity or other strokes of fate. The foundation can also provide targeted educational contributions to the beneficiaries in specific life situations (during training, when setting up their own household or establishing their own existence), without requiring proof of need.
