Project Funding by the Foundation die schwelle

The foundation die schwelle awards funding in the form of grants for individual projects dedicated to the themes of peace, justice, and the preservation of creation. The organization places particular emphasis on projects that closely align with its own initiatives. The focus is primarily on projects from northwest Germany, where peace work by young people and young adults is a central concern. The funding is aimed at non-profit organizations that wish to strengthen social cohesion and democracy locally with innovative ideas. A concise project description of no more than three pages, as well as a detailed cost and financing plan, are prerequisites for an application.

The application is carefully reviewed and evaluated by the foundation’s board of trustees, with projects receiving funding of up to €1,500. The procedure is designed to support organizations engaged in the fields of education, culture, social affairs, vocational training, agriculture, and rural development. This thematic focus emphasizes the aim to highlight diverse social challenges and promote creative solutions. Through clear funding requirements, such as the inclusion of a contact person with a valid email address, the foundation contributes to ensuring a transparent and practical application process.

The funding initiative offers organizations with a focus on peace work an attractive opportunity to advance projects purposefully and initiate social change. Application deadlines for the upcoming funding period have been set in clear terms to ensure timely submission of documents. With a special emphasis on the participation of young people and young adults, the experiences and ideas of the next generation are also given space. The foundation die schwelle thus invites key actors to address many different social fields and implement innovative projects that strengthen community and open up sustainable perspectives.
