Description

The Sebastian Cobler Foundation supports non-profit organizations, associations, and interest groups nationwide that advocate for civil rights, fundamental rights, the rule of law, and republican engagement. Projects are funded in the areas of commitment to social cohesion/democracy, education and training, counseling, labor and social affairs, as well as corporate financing. The foundation's goal is to make initiatives visible that strengthen democratic participation and defend citizens' self-determination within our constitutional state. Ongoing personnel and material costs as well as book projects are excluded from funding to focus on innovative project ideas and sustainable impact.

Funding applications can be submitted informally by post or email by April 30 and September 30 each year. Required documents include a cover letter specifying the requested funding amount, a project description (maximum two pages), a financial plan (expenses/income), a self-presentation with proof of non-profit status, and a signed data protection consent form. After reviewing the submitted documents, the foundation board decides promptly on the allocation of grants. This enables interested projects to implement their initiatives in the spirit of civic engagement and contribute to the long-term strengthening of democratic structures.
