Reading Promotion

The reading promotion by the BürgerStiftung Region Ahrensburg targets individuals of all age groups in Schleswig-Holstein, with a focus on children, adolescents, and seniors. Through long-term structural funding, a variety of activities are supported that inspire joy in reading and sustainably strengthen reading skills. This offering includes, among other things, the procurement of books for reading clubs, support for reading mentor projects, and events in schools or senior facilities. The BürgerStiftung invites interested parties to submit informal applications, ensuring an unbureaucratic and flexible support process. Funding is provided as a grant without a fixed maximum duration, allowing projects to be continuously developed.

This program offers individuals the opportunity to implement innovative ideas for reading promotion and enrich their local reading culture. In particular, young reading pioneers or committed seniors benefit from the straightforward allocation of funds for the acquisition of book materials or the organization of reading weeks. The BürgerStiftung Region Ahrensburg ensures that the funds are used purposefully and achieve a broader reach. Further details on funding conditions and application procedures can be found on the foundation’s website. The continuously open deadlines allow for timely submission of applications as new funding rounds are announced.
