Funding of the Apollonia von Ehr Foundation

The Apollonia von Ehr Foundation continuously awards grants for non-profit projects with a clear regional connection to the Rhein-Lahn district as well as to the Rhineland (Cologne/ Bonn area, Lower Rhine) and Rheingau. Eligible for funding are cultural and musical initiatives, social projects, environmental and climate protection measures, as well as construction and monument preservation projects, along with scientific and innovative educational programs. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, church institutions, legal entities under public law, and private individuals seeking partial financing for their projects. The application process is characterized by high flexibility: submissions are possible at any time. A concise project presentation including a cost breakdown, the desired grant amount, and a timeline is sufficient for review.

Funding objective is the strengthening of social cohesion and sustainable development in the aforementioned regions. Projects in the areas of work & social affairs, energy efficiency, education, research, or infrastructure are supported, as well as measures for local heritage preservation and the promotion of democratic structures. A prerequisite for approval is the submission of a meaningful project description, a detailed cost breakdown, the indication of the desired grant, and a realistic timeline. The foundation places great importance on a swift decision-making process and a trusting collaboration with the grantees. Through the continuous allocation of funds, both small initiatives and larger development and restoration projects are successfully supported, contributing to the cultural diversity as well as the ecological and social sustainability of the region.
