Liz Mohn Center
Who we are
The Liz Mohn Center was founded in 2022 as an initiative of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, continuing all of Liz Mohn’s civic engagement activities within an independent organization.
One of Liz Mohn’s and the center’s heartfelt concerns is building bridges of understanding across languages and borders in order to bring people of different nations and cultures into dialogue with each other.
At the same time, the president of the Liz Mohn Center has always known that if there is to be peace, prosperity and progress in the world, leaders are needed in a variety of fields – from politics to business to culture – who strengthen social cohesion and who motivate people and inspire them to be creative.
That is why Liz Mohn feels it is important to develop people and their talents early on, while encouraging them to participate in society.
The Liz Mohn Center is a nonprofit limited-liability company in accordance with Section 55 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung, AO). It receives funding from the Bertelsmann Stiftung to carry out its activities.
