Funding by the Peter Petersen Foundation

The Peter Petersen Foundation supports a variety of projects in Schleswig-Holstein dedicated to promoting education, upbringing, and sporting activities among children and adolescents. The aim of the funding is to create a sustainable societal added value by strengthening social skills and equal opportunities. The foundation primarily focuses on club-related initiatives that address both the educational sector and the promotion of sports activities—with a special emphasis on rowing. Through these measures, young people are to be empowered to develop their individual potentials and to assume an active role in the community in the long term.

The funding is directed at non-profit organizations as well as public institutions that implement innovative projects in the fields of education, children and youth, sports, vocational training and further education, work and social affairs, as well as culture and media. A prerequisite for funding is that the projects are realized in Schleswig-Holstein and are complemented by own contributions or voluntary engagement. In evaluating applications, the foundation places particular emphasis on the sustainability of the initiatives, the societal added value, and the commitment of the project sponsors. These criteria are intended to ensure that the funded projects not only have short-term effects but also exert a long-term influence on social cohesion and the development of regional sports.

The Peter Petersen Foundation offers ongoing funding opportunities that help ensure projects can be continuously supported and further developed. This approach lays the foundation for a lasting positive development that supports both the individual promotion of children and adolescents and the strengthening of entire communities in the Schleswig-Holstein region. The selection of funded projects is based on clearly defined criteria that guarantee sustainable and active participation of all involved parties. With this funding, the foundation sets a sign for initiative and social responsibility, enabling projects to be effective not only in isolation but as part of a broader social network.
