Project Funding by the Eifel Foundation (Proposals and Selection)

The project funding of the EifelStiftung is aimed at non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, as well as public institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate that are committed to the foundation’s objectives. Supported are initiatives that contribute to the preservation of species and natural landscapes, the protection and restoration of historic buildings, the support of children, youth, and seniors, or to sustainable regional development in the Eifel. Projects related to energy efficiency, climate protection, infrastructure development, and the strengthening of rural areas are also eligible for funding. The application phase is ongoing, allowing project proposals to be submitted at any time. As grant funding, the foundation supports initiatives that are specifically aligned with the foundation’s purposes, relying on close coordination with applicants to achieve the best possible benefit for the region.

Submission requires a meaningful concept with clearly defined project goals as well as complete contact details. In the selection process, particular importance is given to the alignment with the foundation’s objectives and the relevance of the project to the Eifel region. Through proven collaboration with project sponsors, local initiatives are strengthened and sustainable development prospects are opened up. The transparent awarding process enables committed actors to advance their ideas promptly and make a visible contribution to nature and monument protection, youth and senior support, as well as regional strengthening.
