The CITIZENS' FOUNDATION GRAFENAU supports civic engagement and local initiatives in Grafenau with annually available ongoing grants. Project proposals from the areas of social affairs, education, child and youth development, senior work, health, sports, culture, as well as infrastructure and urban development are funded. Non-profit organizations, associations, interest groups, and public institutions with project locations in Grafenau may submit applications. The purpose is focused on community cohesion, strengthening social networks, and the sustainable implementation of measures that create a tangible added value for the city’s population.

For the assessment of funding eligibility, the relevance to the local community, the feasibility of the project, and its social benefit are decisive. Applicants submit a detailed project description, a financing plan, and a contact request via email or contact form. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for flexible consideration of spontaneous initiatives and long-term planned concepts. The foundation places great importance on transparency, comprehensibility, and a collaborative support from the idea stage through to implementation. The goal is to create sustainable impulses for Grafenau and to promote the active participation of all citizens in the development of their city.
