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

• The promotion of caregivers 
• The promotion of the further development of the nursing professions in research, teaching and practice 
• The promotion of professionalism within the health and social care system
• The recognition of current emergencies and the promotion of the development, testing and implementation of new offers of help.

The foundation also promotes meetings with personalities who bear responsibility in church and society for the public discussion of contemporary issues in nursing.
