Description
Since 2002, the Foundation of the Stadtsparkasse Wetter (Ruhr) has supported a variety of projects in North Rhine-Westphalia, focusing on education, art, culture, monument, nature, and heritage preservation. Established on the occasion of the Stadtsparkasse’s 150th anniversary, the Sparkassen Foundation serves as an expression of the long-term partnership with citizens, businesses, and the municipality. With the aim of creating sustainable benefits, the foundation funds projects that strengthen cultural identity and social cohesion. In an environment where public and non-profit institutions face financial challenges, the foundation relies on grants to continuously provide impetus in education, art, and environmental/nature conservation.
The funding is explicitly directed at non-profit organizations and public institutions seeking to implement innovative measures in the aforementioned fields. Special attention is given to projects that preserve cultural heritage while meeting modern demands for environmental and climate protection. The selection of eligible projects is carried out by a dedicated six-member board of trustees, which annually decides on the allocation of funds. This approach underscores the foundation’s strategic commitment to specifically support projects that promote social cohesion and the sustainable development of the Wetter (Ruhr) region.
Within the framework of ongoing funding opportunities, the foundation offers not only financial grants but also a platform for the realization of innovative educational and cultural concepts. The projects are intended to contribute to the development of diverse solutions for current societal challenges and to strengthen regional identity. In addition to supporting measures in the areas of building and monument preservation as well as environmental/nature conservation, contributions are also made to vocational training and further education, as well as to cultural and media offerings. Through this strategically oriented funding, a significant contribution is made to preserving and further developing the cultural and social fabric—a forward-looking approach aimed at the sustainable development and renewal of municipal structures.
