Funding of the Clemens Fritz Foundation

The Clemens Fritz Foundation continuously awards grants to non-profit organizations, public institutions, interest groups, and other associations based or active in Thuringia. Projects benefiting disadvantaged children and youth in the Erfurt region are supported, particularly those that provide physical and emotional security as well as strengthen social integration and participation. The focus is especially on measures in the areas of child and youth welfare, education, vocational training, and work & social affairs. Applications can be submitted at any time; a preliminary deadline check is not necessary. Funding requirements include a clear connection to the target group and a demonstrated safety aspect, as well as verifiable steps to promote communal participation.

The following criteria play a central role in the evaluation: relevance for disadvantaged children and youth, implementation of protection and safety concepts, and the potential for sustainable social integration. Exemplary funded projects range from experiential education offerings and educational partnerships to leisure initiatives that create barrier-free access. By supporting these initiatives, the foundation makes an important contribution to opening up prospects for young people and enabling social participation. Interested applicants will not find direct contact details in the call for proposals, as submissions are exclusively made via the prepared forms on the foundation’s website. The Clemens Fritz Foundation looks forward to diverse project ideas that, beyond financial grants, seek a trusting and cooperative partnership.
