Knafelj Foundation was founded in 1676 as an institution with the aim to help students from Carniola financially with their study in Vienna, one of the Central European's most important university cities. In the beginning the Foundation was run by the consortium at the University of Vienna, in 1995 the legal basis of the institution transformed into a private foundation, run by a managing commitee comprised out of members from University of Ljubljana, Mohorjeva družba from Klagenfurt and Anton Levstek as a trustee. Today, the Foundation with an impressive history still represents an important part of the Slovene cultural heritage with the on-going funding of accomodation in Vienna for postgraduate students coming from Slovenia.
