Funding of the Foundation of the Passauer Neue Presse – Dr. Hans Kapfinger Foundation

Since its founding in 1967, the Passauer Neue Presse Foundation – Dr. Hans Kapfinger Foundation has supported a variety of projects in the fields of social affairs, culture, and sports within the Passau distribution area. The institution assists families, individuals, and non-profit organizations that require special help due to social crises, age-related or health limitations, or emergencies. Furthermore, the funding is directed at committed actors in cultural and sporting life, with initiatives to promote young journalists also being a focus. Through its ongoing funding approach, the foundation makes an important contribution to the sustainable strengthening of the common good in Bavaria. In addition to financial support in the form of grants, concrete assistance and exemplary projects are selected through a special written application process – always in accordance with the statutory purpose of the foundation.

The funding practice encompasses three main areas: support for individual cases, promotion of social projects, and accompaniment of cultural initiatives. Fundable projects are selected through a thorough selection process that relies on a detailed presentation of the concern, a financing plan, and other necessary documents. Great importance is placed on transparency and the communicability of societal goals. The funding serves not only immediate social aid but also the long-term development and networking of projects that contribute to enriching regional quality of life. In this way, the Passauer Neue Presse Foundation underscores its commitment to inclusive and sustainable societal development in Bavaria – a promise reflected in the continuous support of youth, arts, science, and civic engagement.
