Support for the DiakonieStiftung Osnabrück City and Country

The DiakonieStiftung Osnabrück City and District continuously supports diaconal and social initiatives throughout the city and district of Osnabrück. As a legally recognized church foundation under civil law, founded in 2025 through the merger of two predecessor foundations, it is committed, based on the Protestant understanding of diakonia, to disadvantaged, vulnerable, and marginalized individuals. With financial resources from endowments, donation proceeds, and the foundation’s assets, it supports projects that strengthen social cohesion and set socio-political impulses in the region. It understands its mission as the practical implementation of Christian charity and advocacy for people in need.

Non-profit organizations, foundations, initiatives, as well as volunteers active in the diaconal-social sector are eligible for funding. Applications can be submitted at any time; funding is provided in the form of grants. The focus is on projects that create services for people in need, enable social participation, and sustainably improve the living conditions of disadvantaged individuals. The foundation places great importance on transparency and the effectiveness of the funds used. Project sponsors from Lower Saxony, especially from the Osnabrück region, will find a reliable partner in this funding opportunity to implement innovative ideas in the social sector.
