Eligible for funding are initiatives that correspond to the foundation’s mission and demonstrably benefit children and young people. Submissions can be addressed to the advisory board at any time; there is no fixed deadline. A prerequisite is that the project is situated in the areas of youth welfare, youth development, or youth sports and has a local presence in Solingen. Evaluation is conducted based on clear funding criteria that guarantee transparency and fairness. The uncomplicated application process opens opportunities for schools, sports clubs, or independent youth groups to participate in shaping acquisitions and events. The foundation looks forward to inspiring concepts that strengthen Solingen’s young generation in their development and encourage interactive participation.
