Project Funding by the Wetlands Foundation

The project funding of the Wetlands Foundation is aimed nationwide at non-profit organizations, foundations, interest groups, associations, and public institutions dedicated to the preservation, acquisition, and renaturation of wetlands. With a permanently open application deadline, measures are supported that create new habitats for rare animal and plant species while simultaneously generating positive climate protection effects. Funding is provided not only for land acquisition but especially for rewetting and renaturation work that contributes to the stabilization of ecosystems and CO₂ storage through the targeted restoration of natural water levels. The foundation covers both ancillary purchase costs and personnel expenses to ensure professional project implementation.

Interested project sponsors benefit from a transparent funding structure in which the submitted project is evaluated based on its contribution to species protection, climate protection impact, and the long-term safeguarding of the areas. Through flexible grant funding, for example, notary and land registry fees, staff hours, or expenses for ecological concepts can be covered. Particularly non-profit nature conservation associations, environmental foundations, and local clubs find a point of contact here to implement ambitious renaturation projects and actively shape the future of moors, swamps, and wet meadows together with experts. Continuous funding opportunities and clear requirements enable uncomplicated application procedures, thus creating optimal conditions for sustainable environmental projects.
