Funding with Manpower from the Social Business Foundation

The support with manpower from the Social Business Foundation enables nationwide voluntary engagement by foundation staff to actively support social business projects in the areas of development cooperation, agriculture & rural development, as well as commitment to social cohesion and democracy. As a sponsorship format, the foundation provides unpaid labor and operates in cooperation with partners such as the Oikocredit Support Circle Northern Germany. Eligible for funding are interest groups, associations, non-profit organizations, and companies that develop innovative solutions for social and economic challenges and are committed to sustainable microcredit projects. By pooling professional expertise and voluntary manpower, the foundation contributes to strengthening non-profit initiatives and promotes long-term resilient structures in developing regions.

In particular, social businesses and non-profit organizations focusing on microcredits and rural development benefit from this support. The continuously running funding offers flexible access to experienced staff who contribute, for example, to project planning, marketing, financial management, or community outreach. The timely availability of voluntary capacities allows project goals to be achieved faster and new impulses to be set. Interested organizations can submit an application at any time and thus benefit from the foundation’s diverse expertise. The Social Business Foundation, financed from capital stock, revenues, and donations, consistently pursues the goal of accompanying partners on an equal footing and enabling them to independently develop further through material and intellectual commitment.
