Funding by the Manfred Lautenschläger Foundation gGmbH

A comprehensive funding program offers non-profit organizations, educational institutions, foundations, interest groups, and public institutions in Baden-Württemberg the opportunity to implement projects in the areas of international understanding, sports, education and health, research and science, as well as art and culture. The focus is particularly on projects that generate sustainable impulses for social cohesion and democratic coexistence through multiplicative effects. Both initiatives to strengthen media and music culture and projects in the labor and social sectors can apply for a grant at any time. The ongoing funding line of the Manfred Lautenschläger Foundation gGmbH underscores the approach of long-term support for innovative ideas with a non-profit character.

For the application, submission of a project outline (maximum two pages) along with a detailed financial plan is required. The measure must have a clear connection to Baden-Württemberg or the city of Heidelberg and align with the foundation’s funding priorities. In the evaluation, the degree of innovation, multiplier effect, reach and involvement of target groups, as well as sustainability and success criteria, play a central role. Additionally, a current annual report or an informative brochure may be submitted. After a positive preliminary selection, the management invites applicants to submit a full application or to a personal interview. Thanks to the continuous deadline structure, applications can be submitted at any time, offering project sponsors attractive opportunities to create social value.
