Kleebaum Education Fund of the Kleebaum Foundation

From 2025 onwards, the Kleebaum Education Fund of the Kleebaum Foundation will provide a total of €100,000 annually for regional educational projects. Funding is exclusively available to non-profit daycare and school support associations based in the Cloppenburg district. The funds are available for all topics and can be applied for easily, as bureaucratic hurdles are waived. The fund is aimed at organizations that wish to contribute their own ideas to enrich everyday daycare and school life – whether in the areas of education, child and youth development, culture, media, or business financing. Applications can be submitted continuously, allowing project ideas to be submitted throughout the year.

The focus is on initiatives to improve equal opportunities, promote inclusive structures, sustainable nutrition, personality development, entrepreneurial thinking, as well as art and culture. Projects are evaluated based on the criteria of sustainability, participation of children and youth, and exemplary character. A prerequisite for approval is recognition as a non-profit organization, location in the Cloppenburg district, and a properly completed funding application. The following documents must be attached: current tax exemption notice, cost and financing plan, and a concise project description. Through this commitment, support associations have the opportunity to further develop educational venues into vibrant, equitable, and future-proof learning environments.
