Mission & Vision

The Rose Foundation is committed to supporting initiatives in the Lübeck urban area, particularly in the southern part of Lübeck, that protect nature and landscape, enable cultural and social participation, and foster intergenerational encounters. We support non-profit organizations and associations to effectively carry out their commitment to the environment, culture, youth, seniors, and sports.

Target groups

Non-profit organizations, associations, schools, care and cultural institutions, as well as sports and environmental projects throughout the Lübeck city area are supported, provided they operate within the funding priorities of nature conservation, heritage preservation, arts and culture, youth and elderly care, or health-related sports. The funding is particularly aimed at initiatives that contribute to social integration, education, and quality of life in the region and create a sustainable added value for the community.
