Funding of the Karl Gustav Jürgensen Foundation

The Karl Gustav Jürgensen Foundation supports charitable projects in the Eutin area and the municipality of Bosau in Schleswig-Holstein. As a legally recognized foundation, it has made it its mission to promote diverse social, educational, environmental, and sports-related concerns. Projects in areas such as youth welfare, elderly care, upbringing, general and vocational education, civic engagement, charitable activities, disaster and civil protection, sports, as well as nature conservation and landscape management are given preferential consideration. The foundation’s funds are to be used in a way that provides direct benefits to the residents of the specified region and sustainably strengthens the local community.

Funding in the form of grants can be applied for by non-profit organizations and sponsors headquartered in the city of Eutin or the municipality of Bosau. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and must be submitted in writing. Required documents include, in addition to a detailed description of the planned project, a breakdown of the estimated total costs, own contributions, and requested third-party funding. Additionally, an outline of other financing sources is needed to ensure the sustainability of the project financing. This transparent procedure enables the foundation to selectively evaluate projects and carefully assess their societal benefits.

With a broad funding spectrum and a clear regional focus, the foundation places special emphasis on projects that promote community cohesion and quality of life in Eutin and Bosau. Its commitment reflects the founder’s intent, whose legacy sustainably supports social cohesion and progress in the region. The funding extends not only to traditional educational topics but also includes areas such as animal welfare, environmental and climate protection, as well as sports and physical activity. Through targeted support of initiatives rooted in the community, the foundation contributes to creating a diverse and inclusive funding environment. Within this framework, projects are selected through a well-founded application process and a thorough review of the submitted documents to ensure tailored support of regional concerns.
