Funding by the Sparkassenstiftung Ostalb

The Sparkassenstiftung Ostalb is committed as a funding institution in Baden-Württemberg to actively advancing the infrastructural and social development in the Ostalb district. With an endowment of six million euros from the Kreissparkasse Ostalb, the foundation is primarily used to implement innovative projects that are considered exemplary, unique, or have a special impact on the regional location assessment. The focus is on supporting initiatives in the areas of culture, social affairs, sports, education, science, environmental/nature conservation, and media. The goal is to provide new impulses for social development and an increase in quality of life through targeted funding measures. This commitment underscores the foundation’s aim to make a sustainable contribution to shaping the regional future across diverse fields.

Eligible for funding are non-profit organizations as well as public institutions that wish to realize innovative projects in the Ostalb district. Particular emphasis is placed on initiatives that convince through their special impact on the region’s development. Applications must be submitted by post, including a completed funding application along with the corresponding donation receipt. A thorough review of the applications is the responsibility of the foundation’s board, which evaluates the projects based on their potential and contribution to regional development. Compliance with the requirements—especially the implementation of the project within the Ostalb district and the submission of the necessary documents—is mandatory to receive funding in the form of a grant.

The continuous funding enables interested initiators to submit projects at any time and apply for this funding measure. This funding opportunity is particularly aimed at organizations and initiatives that wish to engage with innovative ideas and concepts for the Ostalb district. Through support in numerous areas of engagement, not only is the regional infrastructure sustainably improved, but social participation and collaboration across various disciplines are also promoted. Potential applicants therefore have the chance to set new, inspiring impulses with their projects and thus actively contribute to the positive development of the entire Ostalb district.
