Support for the Neuwied Citizens' Foundation

The Neuwied Citizens' Foundation continuously supports innovative initiatives and projects in the independent city of Neuwied, particularly where public funds are insufficient. As a non-profit funding body, it equally supports civic organizations, associations, and private individuals in the areas of culture & media, sports, child and youth welfare, elderly care, social affairs, as well as environmental and nature conservation. Furthermore, funds are allocated to regional development, energy efficiency & climate protection, agriculture, and rural development. With its broad funding portfolio, the foundation helps to close existing financing gaps and sustainably strengthen the local common good. Projects are evaluated based on their relevance to the city of Neuwied, their sustainability, and their significance for the citizenry.

Applications for grants can be submitted at any time, provided the project is anchored in Neuwied and lacks sufficient access to public funding. The decision-making process is guided by established evaluation criteria: covering a financing gap, contribution to the common good, and long-term impact. Interested initiatives and individuals will find a reliable partner in the Neuwied Citizens' Foundation, which brings together experts from business, education, and culture through its board of trustees and executive board. All approved grants are funded from the returns on the foundation’s assets as well as incoming donations, with the capital preserved permanently to support future generations. Through this forward-looking funding structure, the foundation makes a sustainable contribution to a vibrant, solidaristic Neuwied.
