Our Supported Charities
Founded in 1971, our club set forth a vision to foster friendship, provide support, and make a positive impact on the local community. From its inception, charitable giving became a fundamental aspect of AIWC. Over the years, we took pride in supporting various local and international charitable organizations, raising over 700,000 euros. In 2024 and 2025, we raised funds for the Frankfurt organization "FIM eV – Women's Rights are Human Rights eV” as well as the FAWCO Target Project for 2023-2025, Awesome Blossoms. For 2026, our General Board collectively voted to support the organization, Bürgerinstitut Frankfurt (Citizens' Institute). This decision emphasizes our ongoing commitment to supporting initiatives that align with our values and contribute to the well-being of the local community. The Bürgerinstitut has spent more than 125 years supporting older adults and their families in the Frankfurt community. Its broad range of services includes senior counseling, guidance on advance care planning and living wills, dementia-specific support, hospice and palliative care consultation, as well as assistance with estate administration and probate. In addition, the General Board voted overwhelmingly to continue supporting the FAWCO Target Project in 2026. The FAWCO Target Project finalist will be announced at the FAWCO Interim Meeting in March, after which fundraising will begin.
