Funding of the Zukunftsstiftung Unser Erndtebrück (Funding Proposal / I Have Ideas)

The Zukunftsstiftung Unser Erndtebrück continuously supports non-profit projects that contribute to strengthening the local common good in the municipality of Erndtebrück. Submissions are accepted from the areas of regional development, rural development, agriculture, labor and social affairs, as well as initiatives promoting social cohesion and democracy. Eligible applicants include, besides municipal bodies and public institutions, also associations, interest groups, and private individuals with a non-profit background. A convincing project proposal includes a comprehensive project description, a transparent cost and financing plan, and – if available – the current tax exemption certificate. All documents must be submitted via the prescribed form and sent by email; applications can be submitted at any time. The foundation reviews various projects based on compliance with statutory objectives, completeness of documentation, and transparency of the financing plan.

This funding instrument is particularly attractive for initiatives aiming to implement their projects in Erndtebrück and seeking reliable support. Applicants and organizations should present their project prior to commencement and align it with the foundation’s statutory purposes. Upon positive decision by the board, approval will be confirmed in writing, with funds to be used exclusively for the implementation of the approved purpose. Planned changes in the cost or financing framework must be reported to the foundation immediately. The results of funded projects must be publicly presented to ensure transparency and sustainably strengthen local cohesion.
