Funding of the Greifen Foundation (Youth Work in Pomerania)

The funding provided by the Greifen Foundation in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is aimed at non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and private individuals dedicated to Christian youth work in Pomerania. Through ongoing grant applications, projects, materials, training and further education, as well as youth camps and retreats are supported. The focus is on the training of helpers in kindergartens and schools as well as the qualification of supervisors and teachers in Christian-oriented topics. The foundation places great importance on imparting civil courage, a sense of duty, self-confidence, and social competence. A particular concern is Christian engagement, which is reflected in community spirit, openness to the world, and tolerance.

Expenses for material costs, project costs, training and further education, as well as travel expenses related to youth camps are eligible for funding. A prerequisite is a location in Pomerania and a Christian-oriented sponsorship or project philosophy. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing flexible planning of new initiatives and offerings. The Greifen Foundation thus supports sustainable commitment and creates space for creative projects in the fields of education, work & social affairs, training and further education, as well as social cohesion. Project sponsors, volunteers, and youth groups receive important impulses and resources to promote young people in their personal and Christian development.
