Description
The project funding of the Bürgerstiftung Hannover is aimed at non-profit institutions, associations, initiatives, and interest groups from the city and region of Hannover and supports innovative projects in the cultural, social, and ecological sectors. A special focus is placed on measures for children and youth, elderly people, individuals with disabilities, hospices and palliative care services, as well as nature and environmental protection projects. Only project-related fees and material costs combined with a proven own contribution are eligible for funding.

Projects are evaluated based on their strengthening of self-help, initiative, and personal responsibility, integration of voluntary engagement, and exemplary character within society.
