Encourage, advise, promote. The Amadeu Antonio Stiftung (Amadeu Antonio Foundation) has been working for equality and democracy for 25 years. Against racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination and violence. For a world without Nazis and right-wing extremists of all kinds. What does that mean in concrete terms? We provide quick and unbureaucratic financial support to those affected by anti-Semitic, racist and right-wing violence - for example with the Cura victims' fund or the SHEROES Fund. We support projects throughout Germany that promote a democratic civil society. Especially in rural areas. We research and monitor right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and racism. This expertise is incorporated into studies, brochures and concrete demands. We ensure that these issues remain in the public eye: through press work, social media or articles on Belltower News, the journalistic platform of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. But also through concrete educational work and (further) training for multipliers. Through its operational activities, the Foundation often carries out pioneering work and puts issues on the agenda on a permanent basis.

The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.
