Support for the Funding Foundation of VR-Bank Altenburger Land eG

Since its establishment in 2010, the Funding Foundation of VR-Bank Altenburger Land eG has been specifically supporting non-profit associations, organizations, and institutions in the Altenburger Land district. With an endowed foundation capital of 1 million euros, this initiative contributes to the sustainable promotion of civic engagement in Thuringia. A wide range of funding areas – from construction, monument protection, and disaster control to education, digitalization, and culture, as well as environmental/nature conservation, climate protection, and animal welfare – underscores the broad approach addressing diverse societal needs. The focus is on projects that strengthen social cohesion and democratic values in the region.

Funding is offered within the framework of a sponsorship model and is continuously available, allowing applications to be submitted online at any time. This procedure enables non-profit organizations to present their projects flexibly and straightforwardly. The possibility to submit the application via an online form reduces administrative effort, which particularly benefits smaller institutions and associations. Project selection is based on the submitted documents, including proof of non-profit status (exemption notice from the responsible tax office). This ongoing support helps to implement local projects innovatively and sustainably.

The initiative is exclusively aimed at non-profit organizations based in the region that implement projects to strengthen social engagement. The broad funding spectrum, which in addition to traditional areas such as culture, sports, and social affairs also includes forward-looking sectors like digitalization and energy efficiency, highlights the foundation’s commitment to meeting the challenges of modern society. Targeted funding supports not only infrastructural improvements but also lays the groundwork for sustainable development in education, environment, and social integration. The Funding Foundation of VR-Bank Altenburger Land eG thus acts as an important catalyst in the region and offers non-profit actors a valuable platform for realizing their innovative ideas.
