The Erste Bürgerstiftung Pforzheim-Enz continuously awards grants to public-benefit projects with a clear connection to the Pforzheim/Enzkreis region. Funded are projects in the fields of culture, building and monument preservation, social affairs, education, sports, environmental and nature conservation, disaster protection, as well as animal welfare. Eligible to apply are non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, public institutions, and private individuals. Decisive for a positive decision are the regional impact, the sustainability of the measures, and the provided public-benefit relevance. The foundation supports both established initiatives and new formations that contribute to strengthening social cohesion and quality of life locally. Submissions are possible at any time, allowing spontaneous or short-term project ideas to be considered without complication.

With its funding, the foundation aims to make the social space of Pforzheim/Enzkreis future-proof and to provide impulses in the areas of culture, education, social affairs, and the environment. It accompanies trust foundations, offers financial resources for exemplary educational and meeting opportunities, and places special emphasis on long-term effects. Through financial support of local initiatives, a vibrant network of committed actors is created, working together on solutions for regional issues. Interested project sponsors can submit a formal application at any time and are evaluated transparently and according to uniform criteria in the selection process. In this way, the foundation makes a sustainable contribution to the development of a strong, solidaristic community.
