Description

The Sparkassen Cultural Foundation Stormarn supports projects in the Stormarn district as a non-profit organization, focusing on environmental and nature conservation, energy efficiency, climate protection, as well as art and culture. With permanently open funding opportunities, the foundation promotes sustainable initiatives of non-profit associations, foundations, and public-law entities that are still in the planning phase and are not intended to start in the short term (within four weeks after application submission). Funding is provided, among other things, for material costs, educational offerings, cultural events, and prevention projects. Excluded are personnel costs, purely recreational activities, as well as projects that involve taking over public mandatory tasks.

Applications can be submitted informally and at any time – soon via a digital application process. A prerequisite for funding is the applicant’s non-profit status and independence from denominational affiliations. A complete application includes a description of the project, a detailed cost and schedule plan, the current tax exemption certificate, evidence of other funders, as well as supplementary references (e.g., websites). In addition, the annual report with profit and loss statement, asset overview, contact details, and bank information must be submitted. The decision-making is carried out by the Advisory Board for Culture & Media, which evaluates the projects in terms of their sustainability and regional benefit. Transparent reporting and use of funds are documented through funding confirmations in accordance with the foundation’s template guidelines.
