500 years ago on 23 August 1521, Jakob Fugger founded the Fuggerei in "exemplum", as a model of generosity. People and institutions all over the world can subscribe to this idea of endowment. Everyone can become a benefactor: on a small scale, for example, by paying an entrance fee to the Fuggerei, on a large scale by making endowments and donations. We thank you for your generous support, with whose help we can do even more good at the Fuggerei.
Entrepreneur, U.S. Ambassador to Finland (2001-2003) and first Chair of the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross (since 2004).
Ambassador Bonnie McElveen-Hunter donated 10,000 US dollars in the anniversary year. We thank her very much for her support and her visit to the Fuggerei!
