A foundation in memory of Hanne Rüst.


Individual grants for children and families, and communication support for charities and non-governmental organizations.

Why the Foundation exists

Hanne Rüst worked at an orphanage and later as a nurse. She raised her sons with love and made sure everyone in her family could study.

She never looked for recognition.

This Foundation is a way to keep doing what she did, beyond the family.

How the Foundation gives

Individual grants

Small, direct scholarships with as little process as possible, so more of the money reaches the person who needs it.

Organizational partnerships

We work alongside charities and non-governmental organizations, helping them shape their communication strategy and vision.

Early stage

Where things stand

The Foundation is being set up, and its legal structure is still being finalized. This page will grow as things settle.

For now, it is a short introduction to why we exist and who we are for.
