Funding by the Homann Foundation

The Homann Foundation in Hamburg is committed to supporting projects and non-profit organizations that promote social cohesion and realize concrete work objectives in a sustainable manner. With an annual grant budget ranging from €500,000 to €1,000,000, financed from the foundation’s capital income, projects are supported that accompany both older adults and young people in their transition into the workforce. The focus is not only on fostering individual prospects but also on creating and strengthening social spaces where diverse stakeholders can network and jointly shape a vibrant community.

The funding initiative is exclusively aimed at non-profit organizations in Hamburg that are dedicated to enabling older adults to actively participate in shaping their living environment and preparing young adults comprehensively for their path to independence. The foundation supports initiatives that develop new support services, expand existing structures, or implement innovative concepts in the areas of “Living in Old Age” and “Shaping My Future.” Additionally, the funding places special emphasis on projects that promote intergenerational dialogue and create social meeting spaces where inclusion and mutual support become tangible.

The funding strategy is based on the idea of achieving long-term and exemplary impact by defining concrete work objectives and networking the actors involved in the funded projects. This is intended not only to benefit the individual organizations but also to provide a sustainable impetus for social cohesion in Hamburg. Telephone applications are possible, making access to funding straightforward. The ongoing funding opportunity and flexible application process offer interested non-profit organizations in the Hanseatic city an attractive chance to further develop their projects and thus make a significant contribution to an inclusive and vibrant neighborhood.
