Funding by the Foundation of Sparkasse Märkisch-Oderland

The Foundation of Sparkasse Märkisch-Oderland offers a continuously available funding opportunity in the form of grants for non-profit projects in the Märkisch-Oderland district (Brandenburg). The foundation's goal is to enrich the cultural, social, and sporting life of the region and to support the development of children and youth. Initiatives in the fields of art, culture, music, sports, as well as child and youth promotion that make a sustainable contribution to improving the quality of life locally are supported. Through the distribution of income from the foundation's assets and additional donations, regional projects are financially strengthened and accompanied in the long term. The continuous possibility to submit applications enables clubs and educational institutions to apply flexibly and according to needs for funding for innovative concepts.

Eligible for funding are registered associations, non-profit organizations, interest groups, and public institutions based in the Märkisch-Oderland district. Prerequisites for a grant are the applicant's non-profit status and the implementation of the project within the funding area. Applications are evaluated based on alignment with the foundation's purpose, regional significance, and project sustainability. For the application, a completed funding application template (PDF or Word), a detailed project description, acknowledgment of the funding guidelines, and proof of non-profit status must be submitted. Interested initiatives thus receive transparent and targeted support to successfully implement local commitments in art, culture, sports, and child and youth promotion and to actively shape the future of the district.
