German Design Museum Foundation

The German Design Museum Foundation was founded in 2011 on the initiative of the German Design Council and is based in Frankfurt am Main. Since its foundation the GDMF has firmly established itself in the German foundation landscape and established itself as a multi-voiced and non-profit institution for the overall design spectrum with nationwide funding projects. The purpose of the Foundation is to promote and communicate design to a broad public as a significant component of applied art and everyday culture. The foundation wants to raise interdisciplinary design awareness, to stimulate and further develop creativity, to impart knowledge and breathe life into it. Since its foundation and with the support of committed cooperation partners, the German Design Museum Foundation has organised numerous projects in the form of workshops, summer academies, exhibitions, publications and the development of a digital museum. DISCOVER DESIGN is our nationwide education and cultural initiative, which has been able to inspire more than 20,000 children, adolescents and educators.
