DSZ - International Giving Foundation

About Salon The International Decorative Painters Salon brings together master decorative painters from over 25 different countries who share their work and techniques in this exhibition and live painting event. Participants of Salon include independent artisans, master technicians and teachers including finishers, restoration artisans, sign painters, scenic artists, gilders, and muralists. Salon showcases many of the unique traditions of decorative painting, which are shared amongst the participants, and ultimately, passed onto their students and apprentices, inspiring the future generations of skilled artisans. The Salon is non-profit event, hosted by a well-respected Participant in their home city, and moves to a new place every year. The event is funded entirely by donations, sponsorships, and the participants themselves. It is not a trade show nor is it an art exhibit. Participants apply to join the Salon, create an exhibit panel especially for it, and will then casually demonstrate their skills to share their expertise, tools, and techniques. A collaborative group mural is painted, and lectures and featured demonstrations round out an educational event aimed at inspiring the best quality work and helping to inform those interested in working in, or with, this creative and in-demand trade. Salon Hamburg 2024 is organized by „Freifrau von Schulz“ e.V. Further information can be found on the association's website: https://www.salonforever.net/

The PATRIZIA Foundation has set itself the goal of creating access to quality education, health care and welfare for as many children and young people worldwide as possible, thus helping them to lead free and self-determined lives and make a difference for entire generations. Under the Foundation's motto: "Building better futures", the PATRIZIA Foundation creates an educational framework and a safe space for children all around the world with its KinderHaus facilities. By partnering with local professionals and supporting the PATRIZIA KinderHaus projects for 25 years, we create long-term values for generations. We promise that 100% of every donation will go directly into the projects. Since the foundation was established, around 600,000 tales of happiness have already been written. That’s one for each child who has been given access to education and a self-determined life. We are reshaping the landscape of education. Access to equitable and quality education is key to addressing inequality. An example of one of the projects is the PATRIZIA Child Care Mymensingh in Bangladesh. In Mymensingh children endure extremely challenging circumstances. To address this issue the PATRIZIA Foundation, in collaboration with its local partner MATI Bangladesh, has initiated an innovative project called "PATRIZIA Child Care Mymensingh". This project aims to provide comprehensive support to 80 children aged between 1.5 and 6 years old. It goes beyond basic care by offering high-quality early childhood education. By doing so, the initiative not only nurtures and safeguards the children but also presents families with a pathway to a better life. For more information visit the PATRIZIA Child Care Mymensingh. With our current initiative: Hearts4Change, we have created an extraordinary campaign with the help of which we want to open up access to education, health care and welfare for a total of one million children by 2030. Having already reached our first milestone of 600,000 children, the proceeds from the campaign will go towards realising this ambitious vision.
