Funding of the Werner Ehrich Foundation

The Werner-Ehrich Foundation, based in the district of Nienburg/Weser in Lower Saxony, permanently supports projects that strengthen young people in their personal and social development as well as preserve the traditional customs of the region. As a non-profit foundation, it supports a wide range of initiatives – from cultural workshops and social action days to local festivals, traditional costume preservation, or archival projects. Financial support is provided in the form of grants and is aimed at private individuals implementing their projects within the district area. Ongoing application opportunities allow for flexible planning. An important goal is to motivate young people to engage in civic participation and to foster awareness of cultural roots.

Projects in the fields of children and youth as well as work & social affairs can particularly benefit. Funding is provided for initiatives whose target group is young people up to the age of 27 residing in the district of Nienburg. Applications can be submitted in writing at any time by post or email and are supported by transparent criteria. In addition to the spatial implementation within the district, funding requirements include the submission of a detailed project description, the names and addresses of the initiators, and a list with the ages of the youth to be supported. Furthermore, proof of financial circumstances and an outline of the overall financing must be attached. This structured application format creates a reliable basis for the review and subsequent implementation of innovative ideas. Interested project leaders can find all essential information about the procedure on the Werner-Ehrich Foundation’s website.
