Description

Stakeholders from all sectors of society – whether private individuals, start-ups, non-profit organizations, companies, or public institutions – can utilize this offer to implement regional project ideas for the modern accompaniment of Jewish life in Saxony-Anhalt. Funding is provided for forward-looking measures that strengthen awareness of Jewish diversity, build networks between communities and municipalities, and initiate local encounter formats, educational projects, or cultural events. The goal is to make Jewish life visible and tangible in everyday life, to promote its resilience against antisemitic tendencies, and to establish reliable long-term structures for prevention and education.

The funding is granted as a non-repayable subsidy covering 80 to 90 percent of eligible expenses over a period of up to twelve months. Eligible to apply are all legal and natural persons under public and private law who have a substantive or regional connection to the state and implement projects of regional to statewide significance. Required are the recognition of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, a coherent financing concept that also considers own and third-party funds, as well as the timely and proper submission of the project description, application form, and financing plan. Through sustainable public relations work, the effectiveness of the funded projects should be made visible and Jewish life in all its diversity brought closer to a broad public.
