Family Business and Politics Foundation

The Family Business and Politics Foundation (German: Stiftung Familienunternehmen und Politik) is a German foundation and lobby organization based in Berlin. It advocates for the interests of family-owned businesses in the political sphere, focusing on issues such as inheritance tax, corporate taxation, and the regulatory framework for family enterprises. The foundation conducts and commissions research, publishes position papers, and engages with policymakers to promote a business-friendly environment for family firms. It is part of the broader ecosystem of German family business associations and think tanks. The foundation's work includes representative surveys, such as an ifo Institute survey commissioned by the Stiftung Familienunternehmen, which found that 85% of surveyed companies believe a distinction between private and business assets must be maintained in inheritance tax law. The foundation operates primarily in Germany and is funded through private contributions and institutional support. It maintains a website at familienunternehmen-politik.de, where it publishes news, studies, and policy recommendations. As a foundation, it is a non-profit entity, though its exact legal form and founding details are not publicly specified in the available evidence. Its activities are closely aligned with the interests of the German Mittelstand, the small and medium-sized family businesses that form the backbone of the German economy.
