The foundation aims to promote the church-religious and cultural life of the Jenins community. The funds are primarily intended to support the Evangelical Church of Jenins in fulfilling its ecclesiastical tasks. Accordingly, the Haus von Salis is to be made available as a parsonage. If there is no need for this, the building and also the adjacent building can be used for other purposes at the discretion of the foundation board. Furthermore, grants can also be made to non-profit institutions in the region that serve the residents of the Jenins community.
