Providing help. Supporting work.
The Dr Michael Munkert Foundation.
Foundation purpose
The non-profit Dr Michael Munkert Foundation was established by the Munkert family in memory of Dr Michael Munkert snr. Dr Munkert placed great emphasis on supporting university and vocational training, particularly in the tax-consultancy and auditing professions. Being involved with ‘his’ economics and social sciences was always particularly important to him.
The foundation’s main purpose is therefore to support science and research, as well as education and personal development. Its secondary purpose is to selflessly support people dependent on the help of others due to their physical, intellectual or mental condition.
The foundation’s board consists of Dr Michael Munkert (chair), Ms Susanne Munkert-Riedrich (deputy chair) and Frau Gertrud Munkert.

The non-profit Dr Michael Munkert Foundation’s work encompasses:
- Supporting co-operations between business-administration research and practice, particularly by co-financing chairs in this area and supporting the Nürnberger Steuergespräche e. V. association
- Financing/Recognising academic work in the field of business administration
- Awarding scholarships for particularly talented and worthy students
- Recognising outstanding performances in tax-consultancy examinations
