Giving Something Back to the Hometown

The funding program "Giving Something Back to the Hometown" by the Dr. Werner Jackstädt Foundation places a strong focus on supporting cultural and educational projects in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia. The foundation directs its grants to non-profit organizations engaged in the fields of building and monument preservation, education, culture, infrastructure, as well as vocational training and further education. By funding institutions such as art museums, theaters, and educational establishments, impulses are intended to be set especially where municipal funds are currently unavailable. Additionally, projects based on sanitary maintenance, monument conservation, and civic engagement are supported, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of urban life. Transparent application procedures are facilitated through the submission of PDF documentation, including a precise project description and a detailed cost breakdown.

Beyond the classic cultural and educational institutions, the funding offer also targets projects addressing social challenges within the community. By supporting initiatives that promote social cohesion and civic engagement, the foundation contributes to the long-term cultural diversity and preservation of the city's historical heritage. The continuous call for grant applications provides actors in the cultural sector with a flexible opportunity to present their innovative ideas and projects. The careful review of applications during regular meetings of the responsible advisory board ensures a targeted and trustworthy allocation of funds, thereby making sustainable contributions to the development of the hometown.
