Funding of the Eugen Martin Foundation

Since 1997, the Eugen Martin Foundation has been sustainably committed to the common good in Freiburg and its surroundings, primarily by supporting projects in the fields of education and upbringing, culture, and the preservation of the Freiburg Minster. As a private law foundation, it continuously awards sponsorship funds to non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, educational institutions, and public entities. Local initiatives benefit from this tailored support, which ranges from the creation of innovative forest education programs and the expansion of modern skate facilities to the restoration of historic display cases in the Augustinermuseum. Furthermore, the financial support of the Freiburg Minster enables the modernization of its choir organ, lighting installations, and surveying work to preserve the region’s cultural heritage.

Interested projects, initiatives, and organizations from Freiburg that are active in the fields of education, upbringing, or culture may submit funding requests at any time without fixed deadlines. The focus is not only on one-time start-up financing but also on long-term partnerships to create sustainable impulses in the educational landscape and cultural environment. The foundation places great value on innovative, common-good-oriented endeavors that contribute to strengthening social cohesion while enriching the diversity of Freiburg’s cultural landscape. Thanks to its broad range of funding priorities and straightforward application procedures, the Eugen Martin Foundation remains a reliable point of contact for ambitious projects of all sizes.
