Social responsibility

Marga and Walter Boll Foundation

The Marga and Walter Boll Foundation , founded in 1995, is a non-profit, legally independent foundation under private law based in Kerpen. The founder, Marga Boll, endowed it with shares in Boll & Kirch Filterbau GmbH. As a classic corporate investment foundation, it receives an annual share of the distributed company profits for use in accordance with its statutes.

Versatile support

Since 1995, the Boll Foundation has been dedicated to the promotion of science and research, with a focus on basic and applied medical research. It also supports social projects and institutions in the region of Kerpen, Rhein-Erft-Kreis and Cologne.

In doing so, the foundation focuses on the well-being of people. The foundation relies on its professional know-how and on good partnerships with the sponsors and representatives of the projects and institutions. Scientific research projects and social projects must be in line with the purpose of the foundation in order to receive financial support. The selection will be done according to the competence of the project partners and sponsors.

Daycare center

In order to help children in the Kerpen community and relieve parents, the Marga and Walter Boll Foundation has acquired a suitable plot of land from the city of Kerpen and has realized the construction of the 8-room daycare center there in the immediate vicinity of the globally active company Boll & Kirch Filterbau GmbH and the foundation's headquarters. The city of Kerpen, together with the non-profit and experienced sponsor Johanniter Unfall-Hilfe e.V., can thus offer daycare places for families with care needs in large numbers. Since August 2019, around 130 children have been at the Kita Bollerbü. There, the children have the opportunity to eat healthy and regional food and to let off steam in the diverse areas.
