Funding Program (Foundation Projects) of the Kathinka Platzhoff Foundation

The Kathinka Platzhoff Foundation, as a regional funding program in Hesse, primarily supports non-profit organizations, public institutions, interest groups, and other associations active in the greater Hanau area. Projects across all generations are purposefully supported, with a particular focus on child and youth welfare, formal and non-formal education, as well as social participation. With continuously open application windows and grant funding, the foundation accompanies innovative initiatives to initiate sustainable changes locally. Great emphasis is placed on a pedagogically sound concept that contributes to the long-term strengthening of children, young people, and families.

A written project application is required for a funding commitment, in which the project precisely aligns with the foundation’s purpose, pedagogical aspects, and sustainability principles. The decisive factors for approval are the fulfillment of the foundation’s purpose, the conceptual connection to education or social work, and the potential to effect lasting positive impact. Along with the completed project application form, the current funding guidelines must be submitted. Since applications can be made at any time, the program offers flexible planning frameworks for initiatives pursuing realistic implementation concepts and aiming to create lasting added value for the Hanau region.
