Support for the Stammbach Community Foundation

The funding from the Bürgerstiftung Stammbach is aimed at non-profit organizations, associations, initiatives, companies, as well as start-ups from the market municipality area of Stammbach in Bavaria. The goal is to support non-profit projects in the fields of education and upbringing, family, youth and elderly care, culture, art and monument preservation, environmental and nature conservation, sports and healthcare, as well as training and employment opportunities for young people. Up to €7,500 are available annually as a grant. A prerequisite for funding is proof of non-profit status (§ 53 AO) and the implementation of the project within the market municipality area of Stammbach. Funding applications should be submitted before the project begins or at the latest six months thereafter. Personnel costs and ongoing expenses are only exceptionally eligible as start-up financing; commercial events, fundraising activities, or projects outside of Stammbach will not be considered.

The decision on submitted applications is made by the foundation board each spring and autumn. The evaluation criteria include alignment with the statutory purposes, the regional relevance, as well as the completeness and comprehensibility of the financial plan. Application submission requires, in addition to the fully completed form, a current exemption notice, a concise project description with a timeline and financing plan, as well as cost estimates or product data sheets. Through these transparent criteria and continuous submission opportunities, a reliable funding perspective is created for non-profit actors to realize local initiatives and sustainably strengthen the social value in the market municipality of Stammbach.
