Description
The Otto Diersch Foundation continuously supports projects in the fields of youth sports, youth welfare, education, and international youth exchange with a focus on Bremen. Founded in December 2002 on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the company founder, the foundation was established by Ingeborg Karstedt and her sons Bernd, Axel, and Svend. By providing grants from the income of the foundation’s assets, it enables non-profit organizations to implement sustainable projects in various social and cultural areas. Special emphasis is placed on supporting initiatives that engage with young people operating in both local and international contexts.
The support is aimed at organizations actively involved in education, children and youth, sports, vocational training and further education, as well as labor and social affairs. Funding can be specifically applied for projects focusing on youth sports and recreational activities, preventive measures in youth welfare, educational approaches, and international exchange with other cultures. The funding subsidizes innovative ideas and existing concepts, thereby achieving sustainable development and strengthening social participation, especially among young people. Knowledgeable experts and committed participants can thus learn from each other and gain intercultural experiences that promote both personal and social development.
The foundation’s ongoing funding opportunities represent an attractive chance for organizations wishing to realize their projects in the Bremen area. By financing selected measures, not only is sporting activity and the cultivation of social relationships among young people supported, but the education sector and intercultural exchange are also strengthened. Through its commitment, the foundation sends a clear signal for social responsibility and sustainable development. Potential applicants benefit from flexible and continuous funding that enables the optimization of existing structures as well as the introduction of new impulses for inclusive and future-oriented youth work. The programmatic orientation fosters cohesion within the community and creates space for creative ideas that significantly influence social progress in the region.
