Description
The funding fund for daycare and school support associations of the Education Foundation contributes to sustainably strengthening voluntary engagement in daycares and schools nationwide. With funding of up to €5,000, innovative project ideas are supported that improve local educational offerings on site. The program is aimed at non-profit organizations submitting applications through their respective support associations. It promotes initiatives developed by teachers, educators, social workers, committed parents, as well as the young participants themselves. Through continuous application submissions, the fund offers flexible access to financial resources that contribute to the implementation of diverse educational projects.
The focus is on improving the quality of education in daycares and schools by utilizing and further developing the potential of voluntary engagement. Eligible expenses include fees, personnel costs, and material costs, while pure material procurement as well as new construction or renovation projects are not within the scope of funding. A prerequisite for a successful application is the submission of a current exemption notice of the respective association. Through the targeted use of grants, applicants are provided with financial conditions that facilitate the realization of creative and needs-oriented projects, which sustainably enrich everyday educational life.
The funding fund highlights the opportunities arising from the collaboration of committed stakeholders. In this way, it contributes to creating spaces in daycares and schools where diversity, fairness, and sustainability are at the center. This not only strengthens pedagogical quality but also promotes social cohesion within the institutions. By incorporating groundbreaking ideas from the immediate environment of children and youth, a participatory approach is created that actively shapes the educational landscape. Overall, the Education Foundation’s offering underscores that the improvement of local living and learning conditions flourishes through solidarity and creative engagement, ultimately leading to a more vibrant and inclusive educational world.
