(4) In order to achieve the purposes of the Foundation according to Paragraphs 1 and 2, the Foundation itself becomes active and / or engages auxiliary persons who pursue these Foundation purposes. The realization of the purposes according to paragraph 1 takes place in particular through the promotion of scientific projects, the organization of symposia, the granting of endowed professorships and grants, the promotion of scientific publications or the approval of funds for the implementation of research projects. (5) The Foundation can also make funds available to other tax-privileged corporations. The foundation can raise funds for the realization of the tax-privileged purposes of another corporation or for the realization of tax-privileged purposes through a corporation under public law; the procurement of funds for a corporation under private law with unlimited tax liability presupposes that it is itself tax-privileged (Section 58 No. 1 AO).
