Funding of the Ton-Stiftung-Nottenkämper (Grants for Non-Profit Projects)

The Ton Foundation Nottenkämper supports non-profit associations and public institutions in the municipalities of Hünxe, Schermbeck, and the area of the Hohe Mark Nature Park with financial grants. Funding applications can be submitted at any time, whereby only organizations with tax-privileged status and proven headquarters or activities in the aforementioned regions are eligible to apply. The aim is to promote diverse projects along ecological, cultural, and social priorities. Funding focuses range from nature conservation, landscape management, and energy efficiency to local heritage preservation, traditional customs, as well as arts and culture, and extend to youth and elderly care as well as civic engagement for social cohesion and democracy.

The following documents are required for the application: a fully completed application for funding, the current tax exemption certificate from the tax office, a precise project description, and a detailed financing plan. The review is ongoing; therefore, there is no deadline. The foundation expects that the requested funds will be used exclusively for the statutory purposes and appropriately documented upon completion of the project. Through this funding, forward-looking initiatives are strengthened that make a sustainable contribution to the environmental and cultural landscape in the lower Ruhr region.
