Funding by the Scheck Foundation

Since its founding in 2011, the Scheck Foundation has been supporting projects dedicated to improving the life prospects of children, adolescents, and seniors. As a non-profit organization with nationwide reach, it places special emphasis on projects in the fields of child and youth work as well as environmental, climate, and nature conservation. Grants are provided to non-profit organizations for the implementation of sustainable and socially relevant initiatives. The foundation personally accompanies the projects, collaborates on concept development where possible, and supports its partners with advice and assistance to ensure the effective use of funding.

The funding initiative targets organizations implementing innovative projects that follow an inclusive approach aimed at enhancing the quality of life for various target groups. By specifically supporting measures in child and youth work as well as environmental and climate protection, the foundation makes a valuable contribution to sustainable societal development. Alongside social commitment, the protection of natural resources is also a key focus—an interplay that addresses the challenges of the present and future. Thus, the foundation not only funds direct project activities but also promotes sustainable networking among engaged organizations to leverage overarching synergies and facilitate mutual learning.

The continuously available funding offers non-profit organizations in Germany the opportunity to implement their projects with ongoing support and intensive guidance. The perspective that every contribution to societal development is important reflects the foundation’s guiding principle. Through the combination of financial grants and personal support, innovative ideas are fostered that contribute in the long term to improving the opportunities and prospects of children, adolescents, and seniors, as well as to environmental and climate protection. This funding concept encourages organizations to design cross-cutting projects that integrate both social and ecological goals, thereby exerting a sustainable impact on the living conditions of many people.
