Shape the Future of Your Foundation.
Join Hansen & Heinrich’s Foundation Breakfast – on November 12 in Düsseldorf.
Breakfast, networking, and everything about the world of foundations.
The H&H Foundation Breakfast brings together decision-makers, foundation executives, and founders who wish to exchange ideas on key current topics such as the Foundation Reform 2025, the new Foundation Register, and questions of liability and succession within foundation boards.
In a relaxed breakfast setting, you’ll gain insight into what truly matters in foundation work today – legally, fiscally, and personally.
