Individual Grants from the Marius Eriksen Foundation

The individual grants from the Marius Eriksen Foundation are aimed at educational institutions, non-profit organizations, as well as individuals and families in Oldenburg and the surrounding area who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own. In the funding areas of Education, Children and Youth, Social Affairs, and Vocational & Further Training, one-time grants are awarded for small and large projects. The focus is on sustainable impact on the community and region: whether a school learning project, a socio-educational initiative, or existential aid in emergencies – the support contributes to the realization of charitable objectives within the framework of the foundation’s purpose.

Interested applicants may submit a formal inquiry to the foundation at any time to initiate a review of the funding guidelines. The decisive factors are the location in Oldenburg or its immediate vicinity and proof of hardship through no fault of their own for individuals and families. Schools, clubs, or social organizations benefit from financial and, if necessary, advisory support; needy households receive charitable assistance. Thanks to ongoing funding opportunities, there are flexible chances for project implementation without fixed submission deadlines. A thorough presentation of the project and its financing, as well as a clear statement of location relevance, form the basis for a successful application.
