Support for the Kolping Foundation Würzburg

The Kolping Foundation Würzburg specifically initiates impulses in Bavaria for ecclesiastical, professional, social, and charitable projects by collecting and managing assets to generate sustainable returns. From these funds, it supports projects focusing on international understanding, development aid, as well as church youth and adult education in the spirit of Adolph Kolping’s message and the program of the International Kolping Society. Non-profit organizations, educational institutions, interest groups, and associations within the Diocese of Würzburg can submit applications year-round and benefit from financial grants awarded as subsidies or loans. Supported measures strengthen church and social engagement, deepen intercultural exchange, and advance professional qualification.

The foundation aims to establish lasting educational and development structures and promote social participation. Eligible for funding are projects that comply with the foundation’s governing bodies’ guidelines and are primarily situated in the ecclesiastical, professional, social, or charitable sectors. Selection is guided by the programmatic orientation of the Kolping Society and places special emphasis on activities that strengthen social cohesion and global partnerships. Funding decisions are made continuously, allowing applicants to submit projects at any time. The types of funding include project-related grants and low-interest loans that ensure the long-term success and effectiveness of the measures.
