2025 children's hospice fundraiser completed successfully

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the tremendous support!

Especially at the end of the year and during the Christmas season, our culture shines through: solidarity, compassion, and responsibility. With this fundraising campaign for children's hospices, "ZF hilft." is sending a message of humanity—where help is often quietly needed and rarely in the spotlight.

“Forgotten help” – that’s what aid efforts are called that don’t make daily headlines but are just as impactful. They remind us that corporate responsibility is not just a concept, but a lived tradition - beyond company boundaries.

For years, ZF employees, alumni, and supporters have been committed with heart and conviction through the association ZF hilft e.V. to support people in need. They bring hope, enable help, and show the power of collective engagement.

This campaign is an expression of our shared values. It shows: help that comes from the heart reaches those who need it most.

Giving Hope Together – With Heart and Solidarity

Children’s hospices are more than medical facilities—they are places full of warmth, humanity, and hope. They offer families support when life falls apart. They create moments of laughter, closeness, and comfort—especially when the future is uncertain.

In Germany, around 100,000 children and adolescents live with life-shortening illnesses. For their families, this means daily emotional, physical, and organizational challenges. Yet only about 3,500 children receive support from outpatient or inpatient hospice services each year. The gap is large—and together we can help close it.

  • Loving care by specially trained staff

Doing Good – Part of Our Culture

"ZF hilft." stands for lived solidarity—supporting causes that often go unnoticed but are all the more important. Thinking of others is part of our culture. Whether big or small - every contribution counts. Together, we can support families during one of the hardest times in their lives.

Let’s give hope and set an example of humanity.
