Child and Youth Support of the Elisabeth Kleber Foundation

The Children and Youth Support of the Elisabeth Kleber Foundation is aimed at non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and individuals based in or with project locations in Hamburg. The goal is the financial support of creative, cultural, sporting, and preventive projects for children and youth in various Hamburg neighborhoods. This includes funding for music and theater groups, street soccer activities, neighborhood cultural initiatives, educational trips, and playground designs. A concise application with a detailed project description and a comprehensible cost calculation forms the basis for the application process, which is possible at any time. The foundation grants time-limited subsidies to create a creative, challenging, yet protected environment in which young people can develop key competencies.

The selection of projects is based on their relevance to children and youth support, their neighborhood connection to Hamburg, and their sustainability. Projects in the fields of education, culture, sports, work & social affairs, vocational training, and regional development are supported. A prerequisite for funding, in addition to the Hamburg location, is a clear focus on the development of young people. The foundation values a streamlined application procedure: a precise application, a meaningful project description, and a transparent cost breakdown are sufficient to demonstrate the need and the desired funding amount. After a positive review, applicants receive prompt feedback. This funding offer pursues the overarching goal of sustainably strengthening local neighborhood communities and providing young people with diverse opportunities for experience and development.
