Funding of the Donor Community of Sparkasse Dortmund

The Donor Community of Sparkasse Dortmund has always promoted philanthropic engagement in North Rhine-Westphalia and supports non-profit organizations in implementing innovative projects in the fields of sports, culture, and media. The initiative is based on a sustainable model whereby the proceeds from individually selected foundation funds are permanently preserved and specifically used to realize charitable purposes. Special importance is given to the commitment of partners in the home region, enabling a variety of projects to strengthen social cohesion and promote regional identity.

The funding program is exclusively aimed at non-profit organizations that wish to implement their projects in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is offered within the framework of a sponsorship model and supports initiatives pursuing a meaningful mission. A prerequisite for funding is proof of non-profit status. Applicant organizations are encouraged to submit a detailed project description as well as a transparent breakdown of project costs. These requirements ensure that the allocated funds are used purposefully and effectively. The program encourages organizations to participate in a sustainable network and jointly contribute to the positive development of the region through its funding opportunities.

The ongoing allocation of funds enables supported project sponsors to respond promptly and flexibly to current social challenges. In an open online application process, projects demonstrating responsible engagement and aligning with the mission of regional promotion are supported. By specifically funding sports, culture, and media projects, the Donor Community helps local initiatives and innovative ideas receive concrete impulses for the social, cultural, and sporting sectors. The continuous provision of funds underscores the commitment to establishing long-term effective and sustainable projects in the home region.
