The focus is on initiatives that make cultural diversity tangible—whether through encounter workshops, knowledge transfer, or international work with children and youth. Furthermore, the foundation supports educational measures aimed at developing self-responsible personalities, age-appropriate offerings for seniors, as well as preventive initiatives against social, health, and moral risks. Activities that enable children, youth, and seniors to gain new perspectives and promote social participation are funded.
Interested applicants may submit an informal funding application at any time; for the decision in May, submissions must be received by April 1, and for the October round by September 1.
