The Board of Trustees of the foundations comprises the following five members:
• Chairman of the Board of Trustees: Dr. Frank Pörschke, Chairman of the Management Board of Eurohypo AG, Eschborn

• Thomas Köntgen, Member of the Management Board of Eurohypo AG, Eschborn
• Professor Dr. Helmut Siekmann, Managing Director, Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability, Frankfurt am Main

The Board of Trustees of the Foundation meets twice a year to decide upon the allocation of the endowment’s funds.
Focal points of the Foundation’s activities are sustainability and direct aid
The foundation concentrates on the effective promotion of measures with high social relevance. Direct aid is an important criterion for a positive decision by the foundation: The focus is not on financing complex organisations but the direct support of measures which benefit those concerned directly.
Long term supported projects – a few examples
Projects that are supported long term by the Eurohypo Foundation include:
• In the social field:
o The “Schmetterling” (butterfly) project, the psycho-social care of cancer patients at Frankfurt’s University Hospital. This project was only made possible with the funds from the Foundation.
o Homeless shelter in the Kapuziner Cloister in Frankfurt am Main
o “Clown doctors” – emotional support for children in Frankfurt hospitals
o “Save children’s hearts” – Assumption of the cost of heart operations with which can save children from the Third World.
• In the cultural field
o Sponsorship of Cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker, whose scholarship at the Kronberg Academy is financed for a period of three years. Marie-Elisabeth Hecker is regarded as one of the greatest talents amongst young Solo Cellists in Europe.
