Funding Call "You, Me, Us - a Strong Society"

The Adalbert-Raps Foundation in Bavaria supports non-profit projects with the call "You, Me, Us – a Strong Society" that strengthen social cohesion and democratic values such as respect, tolerance, and humanity. Initiatives from Upper Franconia are funded – carried by non-profit organizations, interest groups, or private individuals willing to found a new association or join an existing one. Only projects based in Upper Franconia pursuing social and charitable objectives are eligible to apply. The digital application must be submitted by email by December 31, 2026; the maximum funding amount is 5,000 euros. A successful application requires a completed application form, a precise project description, a cost and financing plan, as well as proof of non-profit status.

The selection focuses on the contribution to social cohesion, the promotion of democratic principles, and the visible appreciation of diversity. Exemplary projects that enliven solidarity locally, network diverse living environments, and strengthen the community’s resilience are supported. With this funding round, the foundation aims to set curious impulses and promote creative approaches that bring people together and keep democratic culture alive. Interested institutions and committed individuals can find all necessary information in the funding guidelines and application form and thus submit their ideas for an open, inclusive, and resilient society.
