Funding of the UG Foundation – Ulrich Gschwender Foundation, Bodelsberg

The UG Foundation – Ulrich Gschwender Foundation from Bodelsberg supports nonprofit organizations and public institutions nationwide with ongoing grants for charitable projects in the fields of education, culture, and elderly care. The foundation primarily finances the maintenance and expansion of the extension building as well as the outdoor facilities of the Senior Center Durach from the proceeds of a sustainable real estate investment. In addition, local and supraregional initiatives in education, culture, and social work are supported, creating attractive opportunities for both young and older target groups alike. The continuous funding option allows initiatives to flexibly adjust application deadlines and plan projects long-term.

Only projects that demonstrate nonprofit status and fall within the foundation’s funding focus are supported. Evaluation is based on alignment with the foundation’s purpose, the sustainability of the project concept, and the charitable benefit for the targeted groups. Interested initiatives and institutions from the areas of vocational and further education, culture & media, social work, and regional development may submit their applications at any time. A detailed project description, proof of nonprofit status, and a coherent presentation of the expected impact form the basis for approval. Through this transparent allocation, projects are strengthened that improve educational opportunities, promote cultural offerings, and ensure a dignified quality of life in old age.
