Funding of the AWO Foundation "Open Heart"

The community foundation "Open Heart" of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt Kempten-Oberallgäu focuses on the sustainable promotion of social initiatives in Bavaria. With a clear mission to support welfare services, senior and youth work, as well as cultural projects, the foundation annually provides financial resources as a grant. Both private individuals and non-profit organizations and public institutions engaged in the Kempten-Oberallgäu region by residence or activity are supported. The range of topics extends from social services for the elderly to youth programs, as well as cultural events and media projects.

Endowments and funding applications can be submitted at any time, so there are no fixed deadlines restricting access. A prerequisite for funding is proof of a non-profit orientation for organizations as well as a regional connection to the funding area. Through the foundation’s instrument, it is ensured that the contributed capital is preserved and only the annual proceeds flow into social work. This enables the community foundation to provide long-term planning security for projects and to have a sustainably effective impact in the region. Citizens, associations, and initiatives wishing to strengthen the common good will find a reliable partner here for the implementation of their projects and the consolidation of their social commitment.
