Project Funding of the Salzkotten Citizens' Foundation

The project funding of the Bürgerstiftung Salzkotten is aimed at associations, non-profit organizations, interest groups, as well as private individuals with initiatives in the Salzkotten area. With a flexible application process and continuous submission opportunities, the foundation supports projects in the fields of social affairs, children and youth, culture, sports, as well as engagement for social cohesion and democracy. The goal is to strengthen the local common good and sustainably support civic engagement on site. Projects must be non-profit according to the statutes, have a clear connection to Salzkotten, and be described in detail in the funding application form. The evaluation criteria include relevance to the common good, active participation of those involved, and careful planning regarding sustainability and feasibility.

To apply, a project description, a cost and financing plan, and the completed funding application form must be submitted. The decision on granting a subsidy is based on the submitted documents and proof of project implementation in the municipality. Targeted are non-profit initiatives, associations, volunteers, and individuals who create social added value with their idea, enable cultural encounters, or promote sporting activities. By supporting measures in the focus areas of youth promotion, cultural events, or social aid services, the foundation contributes to strengthening cohesion within the population.
