About the funder

The Bürgerstiftung Jüchen is a non-profit foundation supported by citizens, a "foundation by citizens for citizens."

The Bürgerstiftung allocates financial resources from endowments, donations, and sponsorship contributions and regularly implements initiatives such as reading promotion in daycare centers, flower planting campaigns, Christmas wish tree campaigns, and first aid training for primary school students.

Mission & Vision

Our free society needs founders – not as pioneers of an exclusive culture, but as community-oriented instigators and role models in and for the public. The Bürgerstiftung Jüchen is committed to pooling the engagement of citizens and investing it in sustainable, charitable projects in the city of Jüchen. It promotes responsible action, offers transparent management and oversight of donations, and strengthens the sense of connection among local people.

Target groups

The funding and activities of the Bürgerstiftung Jüchen are aimed at all citizens, associations, kindergartens, schools, and senior homes within the Jüchen city area. Projects with a regional focus and a clear public benefit purpose, planned and supported by local initiatives, committed individuals, or institutions, are particularly promoted. The foundation supports individuals and groups who wish to actively contribute to the community.
