Funding by the Foundation of the Sparkasse Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the State Capital Schwerin

The Sparkasse Mecklenburg-Schwerin Foundation in the state capital Schwerin supports interesting non-profit initiatives with this funding, which sustainably strengthen cultural and sporting engagement in the region. The funding is aimed at non-profit institutions as well as associations that implement projects in Schwerin in the areas of youth welfare, arts and culture, monument protection, nature conservation, sports, and local heritage preservation. Particular attention is paid to ensuring that the project is carried out in the heart of Schwerin and corresponds to the foundation’s areas of commitment. This measure thus complements the Sparkasse’s proven funding concept that has been in place for years and makes an important contribution to revitalizing urban life and promoting creative as well as sporting activities in the state capital.

Only legal entities that have been certified as non-profit by the competent tax office are eligible for funding. As part of the application process, all relevant documents such as a detailed concept, a cost and financing plan, as well as a valid exemption certificate must be submitted. It is ensured that the requested funds are used as a grant for the realization of the project. Costs for commercial enterprises, projects already started or completed, general ongoing operating costs, and ongoing personnel costs are among those not eligible for funding. This targeted funding aims to effectively expand the existing commitment in the fields of culture, sports, and social projects—a strategy that serves not only creative development but also the preservation of cultural heritage and the nature-oriented design of the urban environment.

The call for applications is distinguished by its continuous application deadline, allowing interested institutions and associations to submit their applications at any time. The funding thus offers flexible support that provides local projects with room for growth and innovation. By specifically promoting non-profit initiatives through this grant, the foundation contributes to strengthening important social sectors such as youth welfare, monument protection, as well as cultural and sporting initiatives. The initiative invites all interested stakeholders to present their ideas and projects with a well-founded concept in order to benefit from this sustainable support and further develop the diverse cultural and social potential in Schwerin.
