The Reinhold Beitlich Foundation was established in 1983 by the couple Gertrud and Reinhold Beitlich. They parted with most of their assets in order to establish the foundation with this capital. It was granted the non-profit status in 1988. It embodies the founders’ social aspirations to support the common good through this foundation.
The fundament of the financial commitment to education, social welfare, nature, environment, science and research are annual distributions from the CHT group of companies which is owned with almost 90% by the Reinhold Beitlich Foundation.
In total, more than 14 million euros have flown into charitable projects since the end of the 1980s and a great deal has been achieved. To date, the foundation promotes and supports around 250 projects and individual measures each year, and the number is growing all the time.
