Funding by the Meridian Foundation

The Meridian Foundation is committed to supporting social projects in Berlin that sustainably strengthen the sense of community and equal opportunities in the urban environment. The funding program, which is exclusively open to non-profit organizations, targets diverse initiatives in areas such as education, culture, sports, social affairs, and media. Based on the principle of self-help, it not only supports the independence of project initiators but also contributes to strengthening social cohesion. Grants are awarded on an ongoing basis, ensuring continuous support for innovative projects.

The foundation’s funding objectives are based on a deeply rooted conviction: personal commitment and social progress go hand in hand. Projects dedicated to promoting inclusion, diversity, and participatory development are given particular focus. Initiatives in the fields of education and vocational training, cultural and sporting activities, as well as support services for people in need, may apply for grants. The program is aimed at project teams whose innovative concepts not only achieve immediate benefits for participants but also contribute to the long-term positive transformation of the urban fabric.

A prerequisite for funding is an innovative self-help concept that addresses the specific needs of the Berlin community. The Meridian Foundation thus provides a platform where forward-looking ideas can become reality and local networks can be strengthened. Transparent support for social projects enables organizations to implement their plans sustainably and to set new impulses for education, culture, sports, and social cohesion. Through continuous funding opportunities, the foundation supports the development of a solidaristic and self-determined community in which every initiative counts and the common good is promoted.
