Funding by the Foundation for the Region Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw

Since its founding in 2007, the "With Heart + Hand" foundation initiative of Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw has been making a clear commitment to the common good in Baden-Württemberg. With a focus on projects in the fields of children and youth, social affairs, sports, research & innovation, work & social issues, as well as culture & media, broad support for non-profit organizations is ensured. The initiative is based on the principle that regional engagement makes a significant contribution to quality of life and social cohesion. By providing grants, projects that demonstrably have an impact in the Pforzheim Calw region and embody the core value of non-profit work are promoted. The initiative serves as a prime example of a comprehensive support mechanism that goes far beyond financial assistance, also providing impetus for sustainable and innovative solutions in public life.

The funding is primarily aimed at non-profit organizations implementing their projects within the regional context and strengthening social cohesion. In particular, projects active in the sectors of social affairs, sports, science, and culture are supported. The initiative places special emphasis on the effectiveness of the measures within the specific environment of Pforzheim Calw. This approach ensures that the funded activities have a direct impact on the social, sporting, and cultural life of the region. At the same time, the initiative creates a framework that highlights both innovative ideas and proven concepts. Thus, it fosters a dynamic process that enables local challenges to be addressed creatively and efficiently while generating synergies between different societal sectors.

Ongoing funding allows interested organizations to access support at any time, provided the funding criteria are met. With a particular focus on gender equality and inclusion, concepts are supported across all funding areas that have the potential to positively influence existing structures and generate sustainable added value for the region. The initiative is distinguished by its holistic approach, which not only provides financial resources but also promotes social dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration among experts, committed actors, and citizens. In doing so, "With Heart + Hand" makes a significant contribution to continuously strengthening the common good in Pforzheim Calw and establishing the region as a vibrant, innovative space for projects and social cohesion.
