Description

The DFB Egidius Braun Foundation honors the life’s work of its namesake, who already during his lifetime placed the social aspect of football at the forefront. The funding supports projects that go beyond sport and address societal challenges. Topics such as integration, education, culture, and social support are included in the funding focus. In particular, initiatives supporting children, youth, and other disadvantaged groups are promoted to enable long-term participation and social integration. The foundation stands for the tradition and progress of an approach that understands football as a medium for social change, thereby making an important contribution to an inclusive coexistence.

The funding is aimed at non-profit organizations and public institutions engaged in vocational and further education, cultural and sporting events, as well as international exchange projects. Projects that can be implemented both domestically and abroad are intended to sustainably strengthen the social and cultural structures in society. Measures such as cultural encounters, educational offerings, or support projects for people in need are funded with grants. The foundation draws on initiatives ranging from long-term aid in Mexico to local projects like “Children in Need,” placing great value on diversity and innovative solutions in project work.

As an ongoing funding program, the DFB Egidius Braun Foundation offers diverse opportunities nationwide to realize sustainable projects that include digital and analog educational offerings, intercultural exchange, and the preservation of public institutions. Funding is provided as a grant, with applications accepted at any time — a flexible arrangement that allows applicants to continuously develop their projects. With this initiative, the foundation not only underscores its commitment to social cohesion but also secures the legacy of a pioneer whose ideas and initiatives extend far beyond football. Thus, a sustainable funding concept lays the foundation for social participation and intercultural dialogue.
