Homburg Charity Foundation

“I had 100% failure on the left side of my body, from my little toe up to my neck. After my stroke, I couldn’t move anything anymore. The doctors gave me a three to four percent chance of ever walking again. Willpower, combined with treatment in a European rehabilitation centre, eventually got me back on my feet again.” It’s no wonder that Richard Homburg wanted to see this kind of rehabilitation centre in Canada too. And so it happened, thanks to a generous donation of five million dollars to Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.

Homburg Charity Foundation

In addition to successful, professional real estate management, Homburg has also decided to take on social responsibilities by contributing to charitable causes at home and abroad. De Homburg Charity Foundation was founded in 1995 and provides financial support for initiatives promoting education, health, and sports. Applications for aid should be submitted in writing to the board via the form below with detailed background information on the organization and an extensive account of the objectives.
