Bürgerstiftung Weil am Rhein

The Bürgerstiftung Weil am Rhein was established in 2006 as a legally capable foundation under civil law, recognized by the Freiburg Regional Council, and founded by more than 50 citizens and local businesses. Its objective is to build a permanent foundation capital through endowments and donations, the proceeds of which are used to sustainably support projects in the areas of youth and elderly care, education, social integration, and intercultural coexistence in Weil am Rhein. The capital remains untouched, and donations are promptly allocated to current projects.

The Bürgerstiftung Weil am Rhein is committed to strengthening community spirit and civic engagement in the city. It supports local projects in the areas of youth welfare, senior services, education and training, integration of disadvantaged groups, as well as the coexistence of diverse cultures, in order to promote solidarity among citizens for citizens and to reinforce shared responsibility for the democratic development of the city.

Eligible to apply are associations, institutions, organizations, schools, and other groups based or operating projects in Weil am Rhein that plan and implement measures and activities in the areas of youth and senior work, promotion of education and training, integration of disadvantaged population groups, as well as intercultural coexistence. Funding applications can be submitted in writing or by email to the Bürgerstiftung.
