Education Award of the Savings Banks Foundation of the Landesbank Kreissparkasse

The Education Award of the Savings Banks Foundation of the Landesbank Kreissparkasse in Baden-Württemberg honors innovative and pedagogically valuable projects in the field of early childhood and school education. The program targets educational institutions such as kindergartens, schools, school classes, teacher projects, and working groups that implement creative and sustainable educational approaches. By supporting projects that develop new concepts for imparting educational skills and promoting social competencies, spaces for development are created that sustainably shape the educational and developmental process of the younger generation. This approach not only fosters fundamental skills such as reading, writing, and scientific knowledge but also contributes to strengthening responsibility, tolerance, and critical thinking.

Funding is continuously granted in the form of a subsidy of €2,500, whereby applicants must prove their permanent residence or headquarters within the business area of the Kreissparkasse and the eligible project must have a direct regional connection. To apply, a completed application form, the participation conditions, and proof of tax exemption must be submitted. The evaluation of projects is based on the degree of innovation, pedagogical value, and sustainability aspects in education. With this initiative, the Savings Banks Foundation emphasizes its commitment to promoting modern and forward-looking impulses in education as well as contributing to the qualitative development of the education system in the Sigmaringen region.
