Support for Local Organizations – Ott-Goebel Youth Foundation

Since its founding, the Ott-Goebel Youth Foundation has supported non-profit and public organizations in Baden-Württemberg that implement sustainable programs for children and youth locally. Its funding program "Support for Local Organizations" promotes initiatives such as the Alberta Student Café, Mobile Youth Work Sillenbuch, the Sillenbuch Youth Center, as well as cooperative projects at the Riedenberg and Heumaden primary schools. The focus is on the multifaceted promotion of education, health, social affairs, and career orientation. Through a straightforward decision-making process and low administrative costs, the foundation ensures rapid disbursement of funds and relies on transparently evaluated partnerships that achieve long-term impact.

Interested organizations based in Stuttgart or its immediate vicinity may submit applications on an ongoing basis. A prerequisite for funding is non-profit status as well as a clearly identifiable offer for children and youth aged 6 to 27. Grants are awarded as subsidies and are suitable for projects in the fields of child and youth welfare, vocational training and continuing education, as well as labor and social affairs. Close collaboration with local stakeholders and embedding in the social environment fosters trustworthy project implementation that enables genuine participation for young people. Continuous submission of funding applications offers flexibility in planning and implementing new programs.
