Max Kade Foundation

Max Kade (1882-1967) was a German immigrant from Schwäbisch Hall who made his fortune in the pharmaceutical industry by producing and distributing the cough medicine, "Pertussin," which remains popular to this day.

The Max Kade Foundation was created in 1944 to promote better German-American understanding in the aftermath of the second world war, and provided funds for the construction of student residences in Germany (including the first dormitory in Munich), scholarships for American students to study in Germany, and the establishment of Max Kade Centers across the US to research the history of German immigration and document the German-American cultural heritage.

For many years the Max Kade Foundation (New York) has provided scholarship funds to support students participating in Wayne State's Junior Year in Munich program, and has supported improvements at our JYM institute in Munich.
