Every year, it treats more than 100,000 young patients as outpatients and around 14,000 as inpatients. Since 1997, the [**Olgäle-Stiftung für das kranke Kind e.V.**](https://www.olgaele-stiftung.de/) has supported the hospital by fostering a child-friendly atmosphere and funding psychosocial care, modern medical technology, and further training and research. The KAP Stiftung supported the Olgäle-Stiftung with a grant of €15,000. As a token of gratitude, the Olgäle-Stiftung creates rings each year for the donor sculpture in the entrance area – making the KAP Stiftung's contribution visible there as well.

This includes the admission-free Open Stages. The Gemeinschaft der Freunde Jazz Open Stuttgart e.V. (GdF) supports young musical talent in this context – in particular through the formats “Jazz for Kids” and “Jazz Open playground BW”. The KAP Foundation supports the GdF with a grant and thereby makes diverse live music freely accessible. Energy that connects people. ![walking](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/walking.jpg?width=670&height=450&name=walking.jpg) ### Scholarships for study trips Together with the **[zis Foundation for Study Travel](https://www.zis-reisen.de/start)**, we enable gifted pupils to take a trip of at least four weeks off the beaten path, which the young people plan and carry out entirely on their own. Only the scholarship provided may be spent on the trip; scholarship holders must choose an individual theme for the trip, keep a journal, and submit a final report. ![image-placeholder232347](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-placeholder232347.jpg?width=1512&height=1134&name=image-placeholder232347.jpg) ### Out-of-school care for disadvantaged children We support **[Agapedia – Foundation for Children,](https://agapedia.de/)** Social Affairs and Education GmbH, founded by Jürgen Klinsmann in 1995. The foundation offers disadvantaged children in Germany between the ages of 6 and 12 out-of-school afternoon care, with activities such as sports, games, creative workshops and children's circus. In several Eastern European countries, Agapedia also cares for abandoned children and orphans. The foundation provides them with family-based care and supports them in school and vocational training. ![image-placeholder-2](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-placeholder-2.jpg?width=1512&height=1134&name=image-placeholder-2.jpg) ### Caring for severely ill children and young people The inpatient **[Children's and Youth Hospice in Stuttgart](https://hospiz-stuttgart.de/kinder-und-jugendliche/stationaeres-kinder-und-jugendhospiz)** operates eight guest rooms of varying sizes across two floors of a beautifully and carefully renovated Art Nouveau villa high above the city. Long-term care insurance only covers the stay of the children and young people themselves. We support the hospice in offering programs for families – including parents, siblings and the wider social environment – and also help fund recreational activities for the sick. ![gruppe](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gruppe.jpg?width=670&height=450&name=gruppe.jpg) ### German Student Academy Spend two weeks at a boarding school with fellow students and the academy team.

Selection criteria include individual challenges and hardships, parents’ educational and employment backgrounds, as well as the students’ motivation, commitment, and grades. Scholarship recipients receive €200 per month, a subsidy toward a laptop, access to academy programs, and mentoring. Originally conceived by the Robert Bosch Foundation as a “scholarship for foreign students,” the program is now also open to applicants without an immigrant background ![image-placeholder](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-placeholder.jpg?width=1512&height=1134&name=image-placeholder.jpg) ### Bix Beiderbecke Foundation The Bix Beiderbecke Foundation is committed to promoting jazz, a musical genre rich in history and expressiveness. Our stated goal is to keep jazz alive and diverse in Stuttgart and the surrounding region. To this end, we place particular emphasis on supporting the renowned BIX Jazz Club—which bears the foundation’s name—in the heart of Stuttgart. Furthermore, in accordance with our bylaws, we support and develop projects and musicians for a variety of reasons. Through our activities, we aim to make the uniqueness of jazz a lasting experience for a broad audience. ![image-placeholder-4](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-placeholder-4.jpg?width=1512&height=1134&name=image-placeholder-4.jpg) ### German National Academic Foundation The German National Academic Foundation is the oldest and largest organization for the promotion of gifted students in the Federal Republic of Germany.

On the other hand, we **support** the care of severely ill and traumatized children – either directly or by supporting suitable projects at clinical institutions or children's hospices. As part of our work, we support non-profit organizations and institutions that pursue goals consistent with our purposes. ![image-placeholder-4](https://www.kapstiftung.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-placeholder-4.jpg?width=1512&height=1134&name=image-placeholder-4.jpg) ## Antragsformular Kennen Sie ein Projekt, das Kindern neue Perspektiven eröffnet?

Among its first grants are scholarships for study trips with the zis Foundation, after-school care with the Agapedia Foundation, programs offered by the Stuttgart Children’s and Youth Hospice, and support for emerging talent at the Jazz Open Stages in Stuttgart.
