The funding program targets seniors, young people, and single parents in Gütersloh and the surrounding region. Through grants as a form of support, the foundation assists both individuals in need and projects by public institutions, non-profit organizations, associations, and private individuals committed to social participation, independence, and integrative measures. With the aim of reducing challenges especially in old age and in socially disadvantaged areas, projects are supported that focus on strengthening social cohesion and sustainably improving participation.

Within the framework of this funding measure, special attention is given not only to direct financial support but also to the development and implementation of innovative projects.

Particular emphasis is placed on strengthening network structures and enabling encounters between different generations. The funding criteria require that all application documents be submitted in full to ensure a transparent evaluation of the projects. Through targeted support, not only is the individual quality of life of the participants improved, but social cohesion in the region is also sustainably strengthened.
