Description
For over ten years, the Fördergemeinschaft der Förde Sparkasse has been supporting committed non-profit projects within the Schleswig-Holstein business area. The funding program is aimed at recognized non-profit organizations active in diverse fields, including culture, social affairs, sports, environmental/nature conservation, research & innovation, culture & media, labor & social issues, as well as energy efficiency & climate protection. With grants as the funding instrument, the initiative places special emphasis on voluntary engagement and sustainable project implementation. The funding enables the realization of innovative concepts that not only strengthen social cohesion but also advance regional progress in various public sectors.
The application process is ongoing, with the online application form ensuring a contemporary and efficient submission. Applicants must present a structured cost and financing plan that accounts for sufficient own funds – including voluntary contributions. Furthermore, it is essential that projects comply with the statutory purposes of the funding and are located within the geographical scope of the Förde Sparkasse. In addition to the current statutes and the exemption notice (corporation tax), a detailed financing plan is required to demonstrate the economic feasibility of the projects.
The funding is based on transparency and efficiency to ensure sustainable and forward-looking development of the supported projects. Applications are carefully reviewed considering sustainability aspects, voluntary engagement, and statutory implementation of the initiatives. Non-profit organizations thus have the opportunity to implement their innovative concepts on a solid financial basis and contribute sustainably to strengthening the regional community. This funding approach makes a contribution that not only promotes cultural and social cohesion but also provides an important impetus for environmentally conscious and progressive development in Schleswig-Holstein.
