The Franziskus Foundation for Care was established on 28.11.2016. The purpose of the foundation is to promote the tasks of charity as an expression of the life and essence of the Catholic Church, in particular the communication of Christian values. This is achieved primarily by

• The promotion of carers 
• Promoting the further development of the nursing professions in research, education and practice 
• Promoting professionalism within the health and social care system
• Recognizing current emergencies and promoting the development, testing and implementation of new offers of help.

The foundation also promotes encounters with personalities who bear responsibility in the church and society for the public discussion of current issues in care.
