Dietmar Hopp Stiftung

The Dietmar Hopp Stiftung is a foundation associated with founder Dietmar Hopp. According to its official website, the Dietmar Hopp Stiftung gGmbH funds projects in the areas of medicine, education, social affairs, youth sport and climate protection in the Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar. Its funding areas are listed as medicine, sport, education, social affairs and climate protection. One of its funding campaigns, "Greifbares Glück – Menschen mit Demenz spielerisch aktivieren", enabled 100 charitable institutions in the Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar that care for and accompany people with dementia to use a Tovertafel; the application deadline ended in October 2021 and between the end of 2021 and September 2022 the foundation donated 100 Tovertafel packages.

The official website states that Dietmar Hopp was born in Heidelberg in 1940, grew up in Hoffenheim as the youngest of four children and passed his Abitur in Sinsheim in 1959. After military service he studied communications engineering (computer science) at the University of Karlsruhe (TU), completing his studies as a graduate engineer in 1965. Shaped by the privations of the post-war years, he told his mother early on that he wanted to become a millionaire. The global company SAP, which he founded in 1972 together with Hasso Plattner, Klaus Tschira, Hans-Werner Hector and Claus Wellenreuther, ultimately made him a billionaire. The website describes the Dietmar Hopp Stiftung as "eine Herzensangelegenheit der Stifter" (a matter close to the founder's heart).
