Description
The Edmund Siemers Foundation provides funding in the Elbe river basin to support non-profit organizations, public institutions, foundations, and educational establishments in initiatives for nature and water protection. The focus regions are Hamburg, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein. Projects that implement renaturation measures on flowing waters, preserve wetlands, and sustainably secure drinking water resources are funded. Furthermore, the funding aims to strengthen environmental awareness among the population – for example, through guided tours, workshops, seminars, or thematic exhibitions in the Schmokbachtal Landscape Park.
Another funding priority is dedicated to the connection between art and nature: in the "Schmokbachtal Landscape Park," artistic interventions can be realized that showcase the dialogue between landscape and art. Teaching and research projects as well as the creation of specialist publications or informational brochures on water and floodplain protection are also eligible for funding. Applications can be submitted at any time; important prerequisites include proof of non-profit status, a location within the Elbe river basin, and a concept in the field of nature and environmental protection or "art in nature." Grants are awarded for renaturation-oriented construction and planting measures, environmental education activities, research projects, and art initiatives. The goal is to synergistically link ecological, educational, and artistic activities and thereby contribute to the long-term strengthening of aquatic ecosystems and environmental awareness.
