Funding of the A. and E. Korus Foundation

The A. and E. Korus Foundation is committed to promoting charitable and benevolent projects on the North Sea island of Norderney in the fields of welfare, elderly and youth assistance, sports, as well as support for people in need. The foundation focuses on strengthening the common good and supports a wide range of initiatives that particularly address the needs of children, adolescents, and the elderly. Its funding programs consider projects in the areas of social affairs, culture, and media, as well as sporting activities that contribute to health promotion and community building. This broad orientation offers diverse opportunities for the development of innovative and sustainable projects that foster social cohesion.

Only projects based on Norderney are eligible for funding, thereby establishing a clear regional focus. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations as well as private individuals capable of implementing relevant initiatives, provided they meet the regional criteria. The foundation targets clubs, project sponsors, and committed initiatives whose objectives serve the common good. Applications for funding can be submitted informally via email. Through the continuous awarding of grants, the foundation aims to sustainably improve the existing infrastructure and quality of life on Norderney and to strengthen the local community.

The A. and E. Korus Foundation places great emphasis on supporting projects that provide a tangible added value to the island community. Not only the implementation of specific initiatives but also their long-term impact on the social structure and cultural life are taken into account. Decisions on grant awards are made individually, considering the funding needs and the foundation’s available resources. With a firmly established regional focus, the foundation is dedicated to the sustainable development of the island, thereby creating a solid foundation for future generations. Interested organizations and responsible project sponsors may contact the A. and E.
