Project Funding of the Gertrud von Ortenberg Citizens' Foundation

The project funding of the Gertrud-von-Ortenberg Citizens' Foundation permanently supports non-profit and charitable initiatives in the municipality of Ortenberg. From the proceeds of the foundation’s assets and voluntary contributions, projects in the diverse fields of child and youth support, senior citizen work, welfare care, art and culture, music, sports, landscape management, nature conservation, local heritage preservation, as well as international understanding are supported both ideologically and financially. With grants for personnel and related personnel costs, material and other expenses, the foundation aims to strengthen local engagement actors and promote social cohesion. Through careful examination based on the foundation’s objectives, sustainable impulses for a vibrant local life in Baden-Württemberg are created.

Eligible for funding are non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, and foundations based in Ortenberg that wish to implement a project with a clearly charitable purpose. A prerequisite is the content alignment with one of the established funding areas as well as compliance with non-profit purposes according to the tax code. Interested applicants may submit a completed funding application, a meaningful project description, and a detailed cost and financing plan to the foundation at any time. In the selection process, in addition to conformity with the foundation’s purpose, the non-profit character and suitability for the funding spectrum also play a central role. The continuously possible application submission enables initiatives in Ortenberg to receive timely and unbureaucratic financial support for their projects and to effectively implement local engagement.
