Funding (general) of the Dr. Walter and Margarete Cajewitz Foundation

The Dr. Walter and Margarete Cajewitz Foundation supports projects in Berlin-Pankow that enrich life in old age in all its facets. Initiatives and programs that shape a vibrant life culture in old age, enable intergenerational encounters, and make art and literature accessible to seniors are funded. A holistic approach is paramount: instead of traditional care concepts, the foundation focuses on self-determined, active, and social participation that goes beyond mere residential care. Applications can be submitted continuously by private individuals, non-profit organizations, or educational institutions, provided that residence or activity in Berlin-Pankow can be demonstrated.

Particularly engaged seniors in the third and fourth stages of life, as well as organizations that promote exchange between young and old, will find suitable funding opportunities here. Whether readings in cultural venues, literary cafés with presentations, interactive art workshops, or meeting formats in neighborhood libraries and former historic institutions—the foundation awards diverse contributions that strengthen social cohesion and democratic coexistence. With a grant, it supports initiatives in the fields of culture, education, media, vocational and further training, as well as work and social affairs. The continuously open deadlines offer the flexibility to submit innovative projects promptly and jointly promote the quality of life of older people in Berlin-Pankow in a sustainable manner.
