The J. Wilh. Tenten-Stiftung is a legally independent private foundation based in Bonn, Germany, established in 1985 by the couple Jakob Wilhelm and Edith Tenten. It supports needy residents of Bonn who are unable to help themselves, either because of physical, mental or psychological conditions or because of low income and no usable assets. Its main focus is support for older people, with further work in disability services and one-off or recurring individual hardship assistance. The foundation funds local organisations, including hospice, senior and disability groups, and runs the Tenten-Haus Vilich residential project. It also awards the annual Tenten-Preis for social engagement in Bonn and honours donors who make endowments (Zustiftungen). Funding comes from the returns on its capital, donations and endowments, including bequests. The foundation is run by a board (Vorstand) under the supervision of an advisory council (Kuratorium).
