The Lilo-Gollowitsch-Stiftung is a non-profit foundation based in Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany. It was established on 21 November 2025 and grew out of the civil society initiative Orte des Erinnerns, which has worked since 2011 on remembrance of the victims of National Socialism in Leutkirch. The foundation keeps the memory of the Jewish Gollowitsch family and other victims alive, researches previously unknown fates, and promotes democracy education, human dignity, tolerance and anti-discrimination, with a focus on children, young people and young adults. Its activities include a touring walk-through exhibition, a mobile memorial built around the Lilo statue, and an annual school sponsorship programme. It operates its own projects and also supports initiatives and cooperates with schools, associations and civil society partners in Leutkirch, the Württembergisches Allgäu and Oberschwaben. It is a non-independent foundation fund under the Bürgerstiftung Kreis Ravensburg and accepts donations and endowments.
