Umweltstiftung Rastatt

The Umweltstiftung Rastatt is a legally capable, non-profit foundation under civil law based in Rastatt. It was established in 1999 by the city of Rastatt and the surrounding municipalities of Iffezheim, Steinmauern, Muggensturm, and Ötigheim to promote nature conservation and landscape management in the Rastatt administrative area. Since its articles of association were amended in 2011, the foundation has supported measures for the renaturation of water bodies, habitat design in fields, forests, and open countryside, environmental education, environmental monitoring, as well as species protection projects. The goal is to preserve the functionality of the natural ecosystem and protect native animal and plant species.

The Umweltstiftung Rastatt is committed to sustainably preserving and promoting the diverse natural habitats in the Rastatt region. Through targeted project funding in the areas of water protection, field and forest biotopes, environmental education and monitoring, as well as species conservation, we create the foundation for a livable and restorative home, ensuring that future generations can also enjoy the local nature.

Funding applications can be submitted by any natural or legal person. In particular, municipalities, associations, and private individuals from the administrative area of Rastatt (the city of Rastatt as well as the municipalities of Iffezheim, Steinmauern, Muggensturm, and Ötigheim) are addressed. Projects that contribute to nature conservation, landscape management, environmental education, or local environmental monitoring are supported.
