Project Funding of the Diakonie Foundation Oldenburger Land

The project funding of the Diakonie Foundation Oldenburger Land is aimed at non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, and educational institutions in the Oldenburger Land region that wish to implement new social initiatives. Grants are awarded from the proceeds of the foundation's capital as well as from incoming donations to achieve sustainably noticeable improvements in the areas of social affairs, child and youth welfare, education and training, work & social affairs, as well as agriculture & rural development. Examples of successfully supported projects include a lunch program for needy children in Delmenhorst and the qualified training of elderly care workers in Oldenburg. This form of financing ensures that funding remains independent of economic fluctuations and guarantees stable prospects for various local needs.

Applicants are primarily sponsors of social projects in the Oldenburger Land whose initiatives have a clear social objective and whose headquarters or project location is in the region. Applications can be submitted continuously, as there are no fixed deadlines. Measures that have sustainably positive effects are funded – ranging from services for disadvantaged children to qualification measures in the care sector to initiatives strengthening rural communities. The Diakonie Foundation Oldenburger Land thus actively supports projects that specifically address the needs of local people and create long-term structures for solidarity and community cohesion.
