Funding of the Bürgerstiftung Lüdinghausen (Project Funding / Submit Project Ideas)

The Bürgerstiftung Lüdinghausen enables ongoing project funding for civic-oriented initiatives in Lüdinghausen and Seppenrade. Private individuals, start-ups, and non-profit organizations can submit a project idea at any time and hope for a grant. Projects supported are those that align with the foundation’s statutory purposes and fall within the thematic areas of education, social affairs, culture, environmental/nature conservation, regional development, urban planning, commitment to social cohesion/democracy, agriculture, energy efficiency, and climate protection. The goal is to sustainably enhance the quality of life locally through innovative and sustainable solutions and to support the community-oriented development of the region.

A prerequisite for funding is the alignment of the project idea with the foundation’s objectives, implementation on-site in Lüdinghausen or Seppenrade, and a clearly identifiable innovation and sustainability aspect. The application process is deliberately kept simple: a concise summary is sufficient to be considered for review. Upon positive evaluation, grants flow directly into the project and strengthen regional cohesion. The selection of funded projects is based on the criteria of compliance with the statutes, degree of innovation, sustainability aspects, and benefit to the community. Interested clubs, initiatives, and individuals find here a platform to turn their ideas into reality and make a long-term contribution to the common good.
