Project Funding by the Ruhr Foundation for Education and Upbringing

The project funding of the Ruhr Foundation for Education and Upbringing is aimed at non-profit organizations, public institutions, and private individuals in North Rhine-Westphalia who are committed to the academic and extracurricular development of children, adolescents, and young adults. As a grant program with ongoing submission opportunities, it seeks to create equal opportunities and support both broad-based and talent promotion. Measures that strengthen socially disadvantaged target groups, expand technical and scientific offerings, or provide innovative experimental spaces for high-performing young talents are supported. The focus is on education, training and further education, as well as the social participation of children and adolescents.

To receive funding, interested parties must use the official grant application form and comply with the Ruhr Foundation’s requirements profile. Submissions are possible at any time, allowing flexible planning and rapid implementation of projects. Funded initiatives range from homework assistance by qualified volunteers to comprehensive school projects with state-of-the-art equipment. The Ruhr Foundation places particular emphasis on demonstrating the non-profit objective as well as the formal completeness of the documentation. Through this continuous support, the foundation contributes to sustainably improving educational offerings and creating equal future opportunities for all children and adolescents in the region in the long term.
