Funding from the Will and Liselott Masgeik Foundation for Nature and Landscape Conservation

The Will and Liselott Masgeik Foundation for Nature and Landscape Conservation supports non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and public bodies with earmarked grants for projects in the Westerwald region of Rhineland-Palatinate. Funding is provided particularly for measures aimed at the preservation of fauna and flora, environmental education, habitat development, as well as conservation-related concepts. Scientific research and teaching projects, as well as public relations work, are also considered, with printing cost subsidies for brochures or studies explicitly possible. Multi-year funding commitments can be granted for sustainable initiatives to ensure the long-term impact and stability of conservation efforts.

Applications can be submitted at any time in writing and without bureaucratic hurdles: an informal application with a brief project description, a detailed cost breakdown of the estimated material expenses, and a sustainability concept are required. Additionally, secured third-party funds must already be indicated in the financing plan. Evaluation criteria include alignment with the funding purpose, the sustainability of the project, and the completeness of the financing plan. Beyond the approval period, regular reports on project progress as well as a final accounting are necessary. The continuous application process enables initiatives and sponsors to respond promptly to local conservation needs and actively maintain the Rhineland-Palatinate part of the Westerwald.
