Bürgerstiftung Stuttgart

The Bürgerstiftung Stuttgart is an independent and non-profit foundation established by citizens of Stuttgart. It supports long-term charitable projects and collects endowments and donations to provide unbureaucratic assistance to initiatives in Stuttgart. With its own foundation capital, fundraising, and proceeds from the Bürgerpreis as well as other funding instruments such as the Children & Youth Fund or "Little Pots," it strengthens social cohesion, neighborhood relations, and civic engagement. The foundation brings together people from civil society, administration, business, and culture at roundtable discussions to jointly develop solutions for challenges such as integration, education, poverty, and participation.

We strengthen Stuttgart. Our goal is to promote civic engagement and support projects that directly benefit the people in our city. We believe in the wisdom of the collective and the transformative power of shared ideas. Through networking, straightforward support, and public recognition of commitment, we create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban community.

The programs and funding instruments of the Bürgerstiftung Stuttgart are aimed at committed Stuttgart citizens, volunteers, local initiatives, and non-profit organizations. This includes children and young people with ideas for community projects, neighborhood initiatives, clubs, as well as individuals and groups engaged in culture, integration, participation, and social innovation. The foundation supports both established projects and new initiatives that contribute to the quality of life in Stuttgart.
