Funding of the Citizens' Foundation for Bergisch Gladbach

The funding provided by the Bürgerstiftung for Bergisch Gladbach offers a continuous grant opportunity in North Rhine-Westphalia for projects that strengthen social cohesion and democratic solidarity at the local level. Initiatives supported include those in the areas of child and youth development, education, culture, sports, social affairs, neighborhood work, agriculture, as well as vocational training and further education. The foundation acts where the city reaches its capacity limits and deploys funds from its own endowment in a targeted manner. The goal is to promote community spirit and to recognize the voluntary commitment of citizens. Funded projects range from intercultural women's cafés to dedicated theater and music projects, as well as structural measures in neighborhood centers.

Eligible applicants are non-profit organizations, interest groups, other associations, educational institutions, as well as private individuals implementing a community-oriented project in Bergisch Gladbach. A prerequisite for funding is the sustainable implementation of the project within the city limits and the pursuit of a non-profit or community-oriented purpose. Applications can be submitted at any time; there is no deadline-bound call for proposals. The Bürgerstiftung looks forward to applications from project initiators and volunteers who actively shape the social fabric of the city and aim to improve the quality of life for all citizens.
