Description

Since 1993, the Sparkasse Vorpommern Foundation has been actively supporting a wide range of non-profit projects in the fields of science, culture, sports, and society – particularly educational initiatives that pave the way for young people and founders to a successful future. The funding is provided as grants and is exclusively aimed at recognized non-profit organizations that can prove their status with a current tax exemption certificate. Within the business area of Sparkasse Vorpommern, especially in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the foundation supports projects that promote not only scientific and artistic endeavors but also the preservation of local heritage, customs, and environmental protection. This financial support significantly contributes to strengthening social and cultural cohesion in the region and to setting new impulses in the areas of work & social affairs as well as education and training.

The focus of the funding is on promoting local excellence, with projects developed in close coordination with the legal representatives of the organizations. The foundation’s integrative approach targets organizations active in sports, research and innovation, healthcare, and youth promotion. In addition to providing grants, the foundation also encourages the realization of projects through well-structured applications and transparent cost and financing plans. Applications are submitted exclusively via an online form, which simplifies the process and ensures a fair allocation of funds in the interest of sustainable development.

The foundation’s continuous support enables the funded organizations to realize their visions and concepts in the long term and to make a significant contribution to social life. Projects engaged in education, sports, and culture benefit from tailored funding that goes beyond mere financial injections to also enhance the reach and public perception of their initiatives. Through targeted support of regional initiatives, not only is local identity further developed, but a sustainable added value is also created for the entire community in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In doing so, the foundation underscores its commitment to making a forward-looking contribution in the fields of environmental/nature conservation, art, science, and social engagement.
