Funding of the Carl Büchsel Foundation of the Uckermark Church Congregations Schönfeld

The Carl Büchsel Foundation of the Uckermark Church Congregations Schönfeld, as a non-profit institution in Brandenburg, specifically supports pastoral and catechetical work as well as church community development and congregational life within the Schönfeld parish district. The foundation provides indefinite grants to support personnel cost subsidies for employees as well as project funding that directly fulfills the foundation’s purpose. In addition to the church congregations themselves, other non-profit organizations and public institutions may also submit proposals for initiatives that strengthen pastoral, catechetical, or communal cohesion. Applications can be submitted at any time; however, there is no legal entitlement to funding. The allocation of funds is carried out by the foundation’s board, taking into account the long-term preservation of the foundation’s capital and its returns.

Eligible for funding are church congregations of the Schönfeld parish district as well as other non-profit institutions whose projects align with the foundation’s purpose. Expenses for personnel and project costs that have a clear connection to pastoral care, congregational work, or catechetical offerings are supported. The primary evaluation criterion is the clear alignment with the foundation’s purpose. The foundation operates selflessly and ensures that funds are used exclusively to support church and community initiatives. Applicants are encouraged to present their projects and personnel costs transparently and to outline the sustainable impact of their measures on congregational life. In this way, the Carl Büchsel Foundation makes an important contribution to strengthening Christian communities and promoting cultural, social, and educational activities in the Uckermark region.
