Funding by the Savings Banks Foundation for the Höxter District

The Savings Bank Foundation for the Höxter District is passionately committed to supporting charitable projects in North Rhine-Westphalia. Through its diverse donation activities, it supports a wide range of organizations – from educational institutions to cultural and environmental initiatives, as well as social, sporting, and scientific endeavors. The focus is on projects that strengthen the regional living environment and bring about a positive change in the long term. Funding areas such as construction and monument preservation, digitalization, vocational training and further education, as well as environmental and climate protection, reflect the broad scope of engagement. The foundation pursues a goal that promotes both social cohesion and sustainable development of the region, which is particularly relevant for participants from clubs and institutions.

Funding applications are submitted via a specially established donation platform, where applicants must first register. Proof of non-profit status and submission of the application by the management or board are prerequisites for funding approval. The foundation places special emphasis on criteria such as the sustainability of the project impact, regional relevance, and clear non-profit character of the undertaking. Financial support is granted in the form of sponsorship, whereby ongoing personnel and administrative costs, travel or transport expenses, as well as measures directly related to mandatory municipal tasks, are not eligible for funding. This transparent selection process ensures that only concrete projects meeting the defined funding criteria benefit from the donation.

The Savings Bank Foundation establishes itself as a reliable partner promoting tailored solutions for a livable region. With support in areas such as education for sustainable development, integration of migrants, culture and media, or research and innovation, it opens up diverse opportunities for charitable organizations to realize their projects. Ongoing funding enables the advancement of creative and forward-looking approaches that address the social and ecological challenges of the region. Attention is always paid to the long-term impact, striving for a balance between various regional needs. Through this initiative, selected projects receive not only financial support but also an important signal of rootedness within the regional community.
