Funding of the Friedenskirche Maschen Foundation

The Friedenskirche Maschen Foundation continuously supports the vibrant community life of the Evangelical Lutheran Parish of Maschen in Lower Saxony through targeted grants. Non-profit organizations and public institutions implementing projects with a clear church-related focus are funded. Emphasis is placed on initiatives that actively carry forward the Christian faith, promote children’s and youth work, as well as initiatives for seniors. In addition, church music projects and diaconal initiatives, as well as the maintenance of pastoral and deacon positions, can be financially supported. Eligible costs include personnel expenses for pastoral and diaconal activities, material costs for community events, and project-specific expenditures. Applications may be submitted at any time and are addressed to project groups, church musicians, senior circles, and sponsors of diaconal measures within the Maschen parish.

When awarding funds, the relevance to church life in Maschen is paramount: projects should have sustainable impacts and particularly reach children, youth, or seniors. The foundation’s funds are financed from the interest income of the foundation capital, which is preserved permanently and can be steadily expanded. This permanent financing ensures that creative, future-oriented ideas have space and that the parish is strengthened as a social meeting place and a place of lived hope. With this funding offer, the Friedenskirche Maschen Foundation contributes to sustainably consolidating the community in Maschen and preserving the tradition of church values for future generations.
