Funding of the NEUMAYER Foundation

The NEUMAYER Foundation supports innovative and proven project initiatives nationwide that enable social participation through an intergenerational approach and sustainably strengthen social cohesion. The funding is aimed at non-profit organizations active in the fields of education, upbringing, family education, arts and culture, as well as public health and social welfare. Grants are specifically awarded to projects that particularly benefit socially disadvantaged individuals, children, youth, and families. The foundation places great emphasis on concepts that promote the active participation and integration of all generations into society and serve as models for sustainable change.

The requirements for funding applications include that the respective project initiative must comply with the established funding criteria and the foundation’s comprehensive conceptual approach. Only institutions recognized as non-profit may submit an application. Decisive factors are the innovative orientation of the project, proof of targeted promotion of social participation, and the positive impact the initiative can have on education and upbringing. The online application process allows for flexible submissions, as grants are offered continuously and applications can be submitted at any time. This ensures that projects at different stages of development can be supported.

In addition to focusing on classical educational and upbringing measures, the funding also supports projects in the cultural and artistic sectors that contribute to societal discourse and strengthen intergenerational cohesion. Furthermore, the foundation supports initiatives that alleviate acute distress and open long-term perspectives in the areas of social support and elderly care. A thorough review of submitted applications enables targeted allocation of funds, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the positive development of society. Through its innovative funding approach, the foundation not only provides short-term assistance but also lays the groundwork for far-reaching societal changes that sustainably improve the quality of life for vulnerable groups in Germany.
