Description

The Hanse Foundation, founded in 2003 and active in the traditional Hanseatic cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Schleswig-Holstein, has been supporting a wide range of projects in the fields of education, upbringing, and youth welfare for years. The non-profit foundation directs its commitment particularly towards projects that provide equal opportunities to children, adolescents, and young people in socially disadvantaged areas. By specifically funding initiatives that also focus on the integration of migrants, the foundation aims to contribute to equal opportunities in society. Physical activity plays an important role as a unifying element between different cultures to promote participation, cohesion, and intercultural encounters.

Funding is provided in the form of grants and represents an attractive opportunity for non-profit organizations to advance their innovative projects in the areas of education, vocational training, work & social affairs, culture & media, as well as sports. Projects that demonstrate a strong connection and alignment with the foundation’s objectives can be considered through an informal, written application. Particular emphasis is placed on supporting initiatives established in socially disadvantaged areas that pursue an integrative approach by connecting people from diverse cultural backgrounds. The foundation values detailed descriptions of the project proposals to ensure the suitability of the funding measure.

With ongoing funding opportunities, the Hanse Foundation offers sustainable support for initiatives that achieve long-term positive effects in the fields of education and integration. The chosen strategy to support projects in challenging social environments reflects the aspiration not only to provide short-term impulses but also to achieve lasting improvements in the living conditions of the participants. These funds thus represent an important instrument to realize innovative ideas and sustainable solutions in the regions of Bremen, Hamburg, and Schleswig-Holstein, with the aspect of cultural and sporting networking serving as a central component.
