The Fürstenau City Foundation continuously supports forward-looking projects in the Lower Saxony districts of Fürstenau, Hollenstede, and Schwagstorf. Interested initiatives, associations, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public entities, as well as private individuals, can apply for grants for projects in the fields of social cohesion, democracy, social affairs, culture, children and youth, sports, education, as well as agriculture and rural development. The aim of the funding is to strengthen voluntary engagement locally, expand educational offerings, and sustainably enrich cultural and social life. Projects that make a visible contribution to community togetherness and demonstrate a clear benefit to the region have particularly good chances of receiving support. The use of resources is intended to have a long-term impact and promote the community in diverse ways.
