Description
The Margarete Ammon Foundation supports non-profit organizations, educational institutions, foundations, interest groups, and private individuals nationwide in projects with a social, ecological, and intercultural focus. Funded are projects that promise a demonstrable social or ecological benefit, integrate ethical and intercultural issues into innovation processes, and strengthen competencies for responsible thinking and action. The funding areas include, among others, research and development work, scientific lectures and training, education and further training initiatives, collaborations with universities and institutes, procurement of work materials, as well as the awarding of scholarships and prizes within the framework of competitions. Applicants benefit from a continuous submission possibility in a two-stage procedure and may submit a project outline at any time without deadline constraints.
Approval is granted as a subsidy and is based on criteria such as alignment with the foundation’s purpose, degree of innovation, as well as social and ecological benefits. It is a prerequisite that the project’s start and end dates are clearly defined and that there are no temporal or substantive overlaps with already funded projects. Eligible expenses include, for example, personnel, travel, and material costs for research work, event organization, publications, and work materials; expenses incurred before the application submission cannot be considered. In the event of approval, interim and final reports as well as proof of use must be submitted. Selection decisions are made continuously throughout the fiscal year, enabling committed project partners to receive timely clarity regarding potential support and to implement their projects in a targeted manner.
