Start-up Assistance for School Foundings (Barbara Schadeberg Foundation)

The start-up aid from the Barbara Schadeberg Foundation supports the establishment of Protestant schools and boarding schools throughout Germany with financial grants. Founders and non-profit sponsors of Protestant educational institutions can submit applications at any time to secure necessary resources during the critical start-up phase. The funding aims to enable the development of a sustainable school operation and to strengthen the Christian-diaconal profile through educational equipment and conceptual impulses. Funding areas particularly include the acquisition of teaching and working materials, the design of prayer rooms, as well as the establishment of project offerings that promote religious orientation and community.

Interested parties for this funding opportunity are Protestant school sponsors, initiative groups, and educational organizations that are in the founding phase and can demonstrate statutory recognition as a non-profit institution. A prerequisite is the planning or establishment of a Protestant school or boarding school characterized by a Christian-based educational approach. The allocation of funds is provided as a grant, with no fixed deadlines limiting the submission of applications. Interested applicants submit their applications uniformly to the Barbara Schadeberg Foundation in accordance with the funding guidelines. Through the continuity of the funding offers, initiatives can respond flexibly and promptly to financial bottlenecks and continuously further develop the educational offerings. Thus, the start-up aid makes a sustainable contribution to the diversity of Protestant educational institutions in Germany.
