What We Support

Project Insights

The goal of our public relations work is to make our current activities and exemplary projects more visible. That’s why the people and initiatives that we support take center stage, both in our print publications and on our website. Lighthouse projects both large and small are given a special place.

Here, we provide short updates that reveal current happenings among our projects. In addition, we present in-depth reports and interviews that create a vivid picture of the initiatives that our foundation is privileged to enable and support.

To make this possible, our public relations team visits many of the projects together with the responsible project managers and gets to know the organizations and people on location.

We hope that these reports, in text and image, help to orient engaged individuals regarding possible support from the Software AG Foundation (SAGST) – and encourage them to tread new paths.

The first months after the birth of a child can be stressful and full of uncertainty despite all the joy. Especially when complicated family configurations, financial hardship or health problems  put even greater strain on the situation, there is a need for people to stand by single mothers as well as parents-to-be in difficult circumstances.


Waldorf schools have great potential to provide young refugees with targeted support and to help them round out their education. That is the conclusion educational scientist Larissa Beckel came to in her recently completed doctorate at the Waldorf Education Research Training Group at Alanus University.


An accessible creativity workshop in the forest, a “children’s hotel” in a yurt, or even a new therapeutic horse. For these and two other initiatives, a total of approximately € 200,000 has been collected as part of the “Echo hilft!” donation campaign. SAGST has also once again been involved in the charity campaign.
