Description

The Otto Foundation, a non-profit and legally capable foundation, has been dedicated since its establishment in 2005 to supporting projects focused on sustainability and public benefit. With a broad funding spectrum that includes development cooperation, culture, media, migration, social affairs, sports, agriculture, as well as child and youth promotion, the funding targets projects that foster positive societal change. The emphasis is on initiatives that support orphaned children, adolescents, seniors, and people in need. The foundation sees its role as creating incentives through financial grants and motivating other institutions to provide further support.

The ongoing and nationwide grant funding of the Otto Foundation is exclusively aimed at non-profit organizations wishing to implement projects in line with charitable purposes. The support ranges from international to national and regional initiatives. These include projects for the education and protection of orphaned children, measures in youth and elderly care, as well as financial assistance for aid projects promoting self-help. The promotion of initiatives in the fields of culture, arts, and sports also plays an important role. By funding sustainable projects, the foundation aims to lay the groundwork for long-term positive effects in society and contribute to improving the life opportunities of disadvantaged groups.

The continuous funding enables interested organizations to submit applications without being bound to a fixed deadline, offering flexibility in the planning and implementation of projects. This allows for the ongoing realization of innovative and socially relevant ideas, particularly addressing those population groups dependent on support. Through its financial contributions, the Otto Foundation strives to set impulses that lead to sustainable development and self-help within society. Experts and project leaders committed to social and cultural progress find in this funding an attractive opportunity to take responsibility and actively contribute to solving social challenges.
