Funding of the Rudolf Knupp Foundation

Since its founding in 1999, the Rudolf Knupp Foundation has been committed to promoting youth welfare and youth care in North Rhine-Westphalia, particularly in Solingen and the surrounding area. As a non-profit organization, its support is directed towards institutions and projects dedicated to assisting neglected, ill, and convalescent children and adolescents. The focus is on initiatives that prioritize education, upbringing, and the care of mental and physical health. The foundation funds projects through grants that make a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of young people in need. In addition to supporting youth welfare projects, the foundation’s portfolio also includes projects in the fields of vocational training and education as well as the social sector.

The funding criteria of the Rudolf Knupp Foundation include, among others, the fulfillment of the foundation’s purpose, high relevance and broad impact of the project, as well as demonstrable positive results that have sustainable effects. Furthermore, secured follow-up financing is required to ensure the long-term success of the measures. Applicant institutions must provide a detailed description of the concern and the need, so that the specific support requirements are transparently presented. This ongoing funding thus offers an attractive opportunity to advance innovative projects in the field of youth welfare and to sustainably improve the prospects of young people. The initiative thereby not only promotes social cohesion in the region but also makes an important contribution to strengthening future-oriented engagement in the social sector.
