Maximilian Behrens | Chairman
"We founded SPF in 2015 to set up a charity that maximizes impact and allows students at schools and universities to get involved in philanthropic work at an early age. From day one, education has been the focal point of our fundraising and volunteering efforts. I strongly believe that quality education is the key enabler behind various UN Sustainable Development Goals, including eradicating hunger and poverty, gender equality, and economic growth. I am especially proud of the thousands of children and young adults we have been able to support over the past years, as well as the hard work of SPF members, alumni, and volunteers to make this happen."
