Our work to change the conversation begins with the Meierhof

The Meierhof Campaign for Renewal

The Meierhof Campaign is a targeted fundraising initiative launched in June 2025 to secure the philanthropic support needed to revitalize the Meierhof and safeguard its place at the heart of Salzburg Global’s future.

The Meierhof stands at the center of Salzburg Global’s daily life — a hub for our Fellows, a home for our guests, and the quiet engine behind our boldest ideas. Now, we are poised to invest in its future through a transformative renovation that will ensure the Meierhof reflects our mission and work to change the conversation.

This vision was unanimously endorsed by the Board of Directors, following the recommendations of an Ad Hoc Committee on strategic campus improvements. Their conclusion was clear: commit up to $6 million to restore and renew the Meierhof


An Investment in Our Future

The Meierhof building is full of opportunity. By enhancing the Meierhof's functionality and addressing key guest concerns — outdated rooms and lack of air conditioning — renovations and developments will align our space with standards and pricing expected of an organization and hotel of our caliber, enhancing guest satisfaction and Salzburg Global's potential for growth.

Every gift toward the Meierhof Campaign is an investment that delivers returns for our mission. These renovations are projected to increase our revenue by more than $500,000 USD — money that will directly feed and water our programs and work. With your support, we can build foundational support for Salzburg Global for years to come.


Activating Spaces

The project that inspired the Meierhof Campaign — the González Lounge and Meierhof Bar — was brought to life through the visionary support of former Vice Chairman Claudio González. His gift is a powerful example of what’s possible when philanthropy fuels purpose. These spaces have been transformed into vibrant spaces for connection and conversation.

Similarly, the Mundheim Family Garden, made possible by the Mundheim Family, carries this same vision forward. This revitalized outdoor space brings to life our long-held vision of a Meierhof garden, one that captures the whimsical charm and timeless elegance of its neighbor, the Mansbach Garden Parterre. More than just a beautiful landscape, it serves as a place of reflection and connection — where Fellows and guests can continue their conversations, exchange ideas, or simply enjoy the natural beauty of Schloss Leopoldskron.

Together, we can continue the transformation of this essential space — creating an environment that better reflects our values and inspires all who walk through our doors. 

Naming Opportunities

There are many ways to get involved in the Meierhof Campaign, including several gift and naming opportunities. We'd love to hear from you if you'd like to learn more.

"The Meierhof architecture has a majestic modesty with a note of Mozart simplicity and humility. In earlier centuries, the Meierhof was a work horse with stables. Going forward, it can be a show horse for Fellows, staff, and guests."
Henry Myerberg, Salzburg Global Board Director and Founder of HMA2 Architects
