Money for Good: Engagement Fund

Money for Good: Engagement Fund supports community-oriented initiatives by volunteers in Hamburg-Bergedorf with straightforward grants typically ranging from €400 up to a maximum of €1,000. The fund is managed by STEB – Foundation for Engagement in Hamburg-Bergedorf and the Bergedorf District Office. Individuals, non-profit organizations, and public institutions can submit applications on an ongoing basis, provided the project is rooted in Bergedorf and serves social cohesion or social action. The grants cover 100% of eligible expenses and enable the rapid implementation of voluntary projects in the district.

Funding is provided for training and further education, coaching, sports equipment, as well as material and consumables – including printing and travel costs, expense allowances, and catering. A prerequisite is voluntary engagement in Bergedorf and a community-oriented project idea. To apply, a completed application form, a brief project description (max. 1 DIN A4 page), and optionally supplementary image or flyer materials must be submitted. Since there are no fixed deadlines, applications can be submitted at any time as needed. The uncomplicated application process motivates participants to strengthen democratic coexistence and quality of life in the district with small but impactful initiatives.
