The Geschwister-Scholl-Foundation was founded on December 4th, 1950. Their aim was to found and maintain a private college for design in Ulm. From 1953 to 1968 the foundation supported the Ulm School of Design (HfG). After the HfG Ulm ceased operations at the end of 1968, the foundation also ceased its activities. In 1987 it changed its name to the Stiftung Hochschule für Gestaltung and has been the sponsor of the IFG Ulm ( International Forum for Design ) ever since .
