Bürgerstiftung Seelze

The Bürgerstiftung Seelze is a private foundation established under private law, created by citizens for citizens. Since its founding in December 2009, it has supported sustainable and future-oriented projects in the fields of education and upbringing, arts and culture, health and social affairs, environmental and nature conservation, as well as youth, elderly, and integration work in all districts of the city of Seelze. The foundation is politically and denominationally independent and supports charitable initiatives through financial resources, donated time, and organizational assistance. Its long-standing own projects include, among others, educational support at Seelze primary schools, the reading initiative "Julius-Club," and the promotion of the RoboCup working group at the Georg-Büchner-Gymnasium.

Our mission is to strengthen civic engagement in Seelze and to develop, support, and accompany sustainable, future-oriented projects in the fields of education, culture, social affairs, and the environment. We create space for self-help, intergenerational and cross-national collaboration, and encourage greater citizen participation and initiative in all districts of the city.

The funding programs of the Bürgerstiftung Seelze are aimed at children and young people (e.g., primary school students with learning difficulties, participants of the Julius Club), schools and educational institutions (e.g., Georg Büchner Gymnasium), cultural and social organizations (e.g., city library, music school), volunteer time donors, as well as non-profit associations and initiatives in all districts of Seelze. In addition, voluntary donors who wish to strengthen the community through regular or one-time contributions are addressed.
