MWG-Stiftung
About the funder
The MWG Foundation Magdeburg was established in November 2014 by the MWG Housing Cooperative eG. The purpose of the foundation is to support people in need – especially the members of the housing cooperative – and to promote civic engagement in Magdeburg neighborhoods. The foundation capital was jointly donated by members and the cooperative. Since then, the foundation has initiated smaller projects and events in the fields of youth and elderly care, arts and culture, education, training, sports, and the promotion of engagement, in order to strengthen community cohesion locally.

Mission & Vision
Our mission is characterized by solidarity and community spirit. The MWG Foundation is committed to providing unbureaucratic and tailored assistance to disadvantaged people in Magdeburg and supporting volunteer engagement locally. We create opportunities that facilitate encounters, promote skills, and strengthen social cohesion in neighborhoods.
Target groups
Non-profit associations, initiatives, and institutions in Magdeburg and the surrounding area that implement projects for various target groups are supported. These particularly include children and adolescents, senior citizens, families, as well as people with limited social or health opportunities. Projects with a direct connection to the MWG Housing Cooperative (e.g., in residential neighborhoods) are also a focus of our funding.
