Give Back – Make a Difference: BayWa Foundation

For 25 years on the road for education for healthy nutrition and renewable energy

In 1998 the BayWa AG established the BayWa Foundation to contribute to society and to help people with education. Since then, the foundation has been involved in educational projects in the fields of healthy nutrition and renewable energy, both locally and around the world.

Donate once, help twice: 200 % of your donation flows into the educational projects of the BayWa Foundation. Because BayWa AG bears the administrative costs of the foundation and doubles every donation.

Thanks to the support of BayWa AG and numerous sponsors, more than 120 projects have now been implemented. The BayWa Foundation is committed to promoting knowledge, teaching about healthy nutrition and making renewable energy understandable. By pursuing these objectives, the foundation is able to give something back and help others.
