Funding of the National Park Eifel and Vogelsang Foundation

The Nationalpark Eifel and Vogelsang Foundation supports innovative projects in North Rhine-Westphalia with the aim of strengthening education, environmental and climate protection, culture, and science in the Eifel region. With a focus on the areas of Education and Encounter, Nature and Sustainability, Culture and Region, as well as Science and Research, the foundation supports both civil society initiatives and private and public actors. Support is provided in the form of grants, which can be applied for on an ongoing basis. A prerequisite for a positive funding decision is the implementation of projects within the Nationalpark Eifel and Vogelsang as well as thematic alignment with one of the funding areas. Thus, the foundation offers a flexible framework for ideas that contribute to strengthening regional identity and sustainable development.

Interested non-profit organizations, companies, educational institutions, and private individuals can submit inquiries and applications at any time. Activities supported include those in environmental and climate protection, scientific research, as well as cultural or educational projects that enable encounters between people and nature. The initiative is particularly aimed at environmental and climate protectors, educators, researchers, as well as cultural and regional actors who want to create added value for the Eifel region through their projects. Through close cooperation with local partners and experts, the foundation helps ensure that innovative approaches are practically tested and sustainably anchored.
