Project Funding by the Friedel & Gisela Bohnenkamp Foundation

The Friedel & Gisela Bohnenkamp Foundation primarily supports innovative, professionally grounded, and sustainable educational projects for children and youth in the city and district of Osnabrück. Non-profit organizations, public institutions, and educational providers can submit project ideas or applications for grants online at any time. Funded initiatives cover the areas of education, vocational training and further education, regional development, work & social affairs, health, research & innovation, agriculture & rural development, as well as education for sustainable development. The goal is to strengthen equal opportunities and self-competence among young people, establish educational networks, and promote healthy lifestyles in daycare centers, schools, and families.

A prerequisite for funding is that the organization’s headquarters or the project implementation is located in the Osnabrück region, that the concept is innovative and sustainably designed, and that there is a solid professional orientation with a clear focus on educational projects for children and youth. The evaluation focuses on the degree of innovation, sustainability aspects, professional expertise, and regional orientation. The continuous submission option allows providers and initiatives to respond flexibly to needs and to work on successful educational offerings in the long term. In doing so, the foundation contributes to improving educational opportunities and establishing sustainable structures in the city and district of Osnabrück.
