Arising from personal stories and powered by courage and optimism, our charitable foundations have spent the last two decades advocating for key social and sociopolitical topics.
Since 2001, the Felix Burda Stiftung (Felix Burda Foundation) has been working to improve preventive healthcare in Germany regarding colon cancer screening and to change the healthcare system in this area. We use our wide-reaching media to raise awareness of misfortune and issues that attract far too little attention in our society and to support projects for disadvantaged children in Germany via the Tribute to Bambi-Stiftung (Tribute to Bambi Foundation).
Famous events such as Bambi, the Tribute to Bambi charity gala and the Felix Burda Award attract a lot of coverage, draw attention to socially relevant topics, encourage prominent figures to network and give a platform to aid organisations and social initiatives.
Based in Munich, the Felix Burda Foundation was set up in 2001 by Dr Christa Maar and Professor Hubert Burda in the name of their son, who died of colorectal cancer in 2001. Projects include the nationwide colorectal cancer month (March) and the Felix Burda Award, which honours outstanding commitment to the prevention of colorectal cancer. The Felix Burda Foundation uses smart event tools and gadgets to bring colorectal cancer prevention to the people: Europe’s largest model colon never fails to fascinate, offering visitors a 20-metre-long virtual reality experience. “APPzumARZT” (APPtoDOCTOR) is a butler of sorts, managing health prevention services for the whole family. Each year, more than 150,000 users use the quick online check to determine their personal risk of colorectal cancer.
The Felix Burda Foundation runs websites and social media accounts and uses dedicated yearly advertising and PR campaigns to raise awareness of colorectal cancer prevention throughout Germany. It is a member of the German government’s National Cancer Plan and the National Decade against Cancer, which is run by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It is also part of the board of trustees at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and the scientific advisory board of the DKFZ cancer information service.

A golden deer that helps children in need: the idea for Tribute to Bambi came about in 2001, initiated by Patricia Riekel (former editor-in-chief of Bunte) and Philipp Welte (board member at Hubert Burda Media) with the aim of helping children by harnessing media coverage of the Bambi awards. The foundation supports projects for children and young people all year round and raises awareness of misfortune and issues that attract far too little attention in our society to give a voice to those who usually go unheard.
