The Founder

Ulf Mann contributed his entire estate to the Foundation. The founding group laid down in the statutes that he is entitled to a stipend (BAT 1a level, according to the pay scale for civil servants). To date, however, he has not made use of this entitlement. Ulf Mann was involved in the establishment of the Foundation and was a member of the first Board of Trustees (as a representative of two working groups), but resigned after six months. He remained a member of the Africa working group until 1996, but then withdrew entirely from serving the Foundation. However, he is still associated with the Foundation, for one thing because he still lives in the apartment building he donated to it.
