Funding of the Edewecht Citizens' Foundation (Application for Support)

The Bürgerstiftung Edewecht continuously awards grants for civic engagement in the municipality of Edewecht (Lower Saxony). Projects are supported in the areas of education and upbringing, arts and culture, nature and environmental protection, as well as youth welfare, energy efficiency, climate protection, and vocational training. The goal is to strengthen social cohesion and support initiatives that sustainably enrich local life. Applications can be submitted at any time via the application form to cover costs for material and supplies. The award decision is made by the foundation’s board based on transparency, sustainability, and benefit to the community.

Eligible applicants include private individuals, non-profit organizations, companies, public institutions, interest groups, and other associations with residence or headquarters in the municipality of Edewecht. A prerequisite is the submission of a fully completed application including a project description, cost and financing plan, and timeline. Evaluation focuses particularly on alignment with the foundation’s purposes, the extent of civic engagement, and the social added value. Only material and supply costs directly serving the project purpose are funded. Interested project sponsors can find all documents as PDFs for download on the Bürgerstiftung Edewecht website. There is no legal entitlement to funding; the board makes the final decision within the framework of the statutes. This continuous funding opportunity strengthens local initiative and supports sustainable development in the region.
