Investing in Young People and the Community: 25th Grant Distribution by the Rudolf Rampf Foundation

€15,900 for clubs, education, and community initiatives in Grafenberg

A quarter-century of commitment to young people in Grafenberg: In its anniversary year 2026, the Rudolf Rampf Foundation once again demonstrated its dedication to the local community by awarding grants totaling €15,900 (US$18,000) to a wide range of projects and initiatives.

Guided by the principle “Children Are Our Future,” the Rudolf Rampf Foundation has been supporting young people in Grafenberg for 25 years. Established in 2001 by Rudolf Rampf, founder of the international RAMPF Group, the foundation promotes education, culture, sports, and volunteer engagement through targeted funding. In doing so, it contributes to the long-term development of the community and helps strengthen social cohesion.

Matthias Rampf, who has led the RAMPF Group together with his brother Michael Rampf as the second generation of the family business since 2012, presented the grants to representatives of the beneficiary organizations.

“As an entrepreneur, my father firmly believed that when a company succeeds, the community should share in that success. Both the foundation and the RAMPF Group remain strongly committed to this principle today. As a family-owned company, we know that economic success and a vibrant social environment go hand in hand. We are therefore very happy to celebrate the 25th grant distribution of the Rudolf Rampf Foundation. The clubs, organizations, and volunteers in Grafenberg make an invaluable contribution to our community and quality of life.”
