Funding of the Bodo Röhr Foundation

The funding provided by the Bodo Röhr Foundation is aimed at non-profit organizations, interest groups, and associations based or active in Hamburg and its surrounding areas. The focus of support lies on projects in the fields of language and literature (including Low German), art and culture, as well as monument and heritage preservation. The goal is to promote the joy of reading and writing skills, make cultural offerings accessible to a broad public, and restore significant testimonies of architectural history. Priority is given to initiatives that make a sustainable contribution to cultural diversity in Hamburg and thereby enrich urban community life.

As a grant program, the foundation offers ongoing funding opportunities without fixed application deadlines. Only non-profit legal entities that can provide proof of their charitable purpose and operate within the Hamburg area are eligible to apply. Examples of funded projects include reading promotion initiatives, theater productions, restoration measures on monuments, the establishment of district archives, and history cafés. Interested applicants benefit from a straightforward application process and can rely on practical support from the funding commission. With a view to long-term impact, both one-time special projects and continuously designed programs in the aforementioned thematic areas are supported.
