The Kellner Family Foundation
In the beginning, we sought to help children on whom fortune did not smile; today, we sponsor long-term educational projects intended for elementary school students and their teachers, high school and university students, as well as postgraduates. We also provide grants to Czech researchers and research teams.
The Kellner Family Foundation’s projects
Open Gate
The Open Gate eight-year grammar school educates children from children’s homes and socially disadvantaged families, together with those whose parents cover their school fees. This is made possible thanks to the Foundation, which provides grants to half of the school’s students.
EnterUniversities
Studying abroad does not have to be an impossible dream. The Foundation’s financial grants help talented Czech students graduate from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and many other renowned universities.
EnterHelping schools succeed
We help to improve the quality of education at public elementary schools by promoting new teaching methods and honing the skills of teachers. We are now supporting more than 760 elementary school teachers and principals and, through them, more than 8,500 students.
EnterScience
New approaches to cancer treatment – this is the goal pursued by research teams that have received grants under the Science project. Grants are intended for luminaries acclaimed by international scientific circles, and also for rising talents in their fields of research.
