Funding by the Sparkassen Foundation for Lippstadt

The funding provided by the Sparkassenstiftung für Lippstadt is an attractive grant program that offers financial support to non-profit organizations within the business area of Sparkasse Hellweg-Lippe. Initiated against the backdrop of over 175 years of the Sparkasse Lippstadt’s engagement with the region, this initiative focuses on strengthening social cohesion and the sustainable development of youth work, sports, culture, education, environmental protection, and monument preservation. Through public grants, not only social institutions and cultural projects are supported, but also educational measures and initiatives in the field of nature conservation, which make an important contribution to positive regional development.

The program funds a variety of projects in the areas of children and youth, social affairs, sports, environmental and nature conservation, as well as culture and media. Special emphasis is placed on projects to be implemented within the business area of Sparkasse Hellweg-Lippe. A prerequisite for funding is, among other things, that the applicant – whether a club or institutional organization – is based in the region and that the intended project exclusively takes effect within this area. Furthermore, active management of an account at Sparkasse Hellweg-Lippe is required. Clear criteria include that grants are not awarded to individuals and that only one application may be submitted per calendar year. Additionally, secured overall financing of the project must be demonstrated, and consent to a public handover within the framework of press, homepage, or social networks is required.

With this, the Sparkassenstiftung für Lippstadt places its focus on targeted financial support that optimally strengthens regional cohesion and the promotion of diverse social projects. At a time when societal challenges and the need for innovative solutions are constantly growing, this initiative proves to be a valuable source of impetus. Through the continuous possibility of submitting applications, the foundation offers ongoing access to funding for projects that bring about long-term positive social and cultural change. The program addresses both the need for creative, sustainable approaches to promoting education and youth welfare as well as the necessity to actively support environmental and climate protection – a holistic approach that contributes to strengthening the entire region.
