Project Funding of the Berlin Nature Conservation Foundation

The project funding of the Berlin Nature Conservation Foundation supports a variety of initiatives that promote the preservation and improvement of the natural environment in the capital. With a special focus on environmental education, sustainable development, climate and animal protection, as well as energy efficiency, projects in Berlin receive financial support. This program is designed to advance innovative ideas in the fields of nature conservation and environmental education and to raise awareness for the protection of natural resources. The funding is provided as a purpose-bound, non-repayable grant, which particularly facilitates access to financial resources for smaller-scale projects.

Eligible applicants include natural persons, companies, and partnerships that intend to implement projects exclusively in Berlin. Support includes grants of up to 1,000 euros and can be applied for measures with a duration of up to 12 months. To qualify for funding, applicants must submit, among other documents, a detailed project description, a cost and financing plan, and a self-declaration regarding insolvency. Furthermore, it is a prerequisite to obtain all necessary official permits and to ensure that the project is not intended for commercial purposes. This structured funding concept allows the responsible authorities to assess the suitability and sustainability of the project based on a written application and a clearly defined project proposal.

The continuous application process offers interested project sponsors a flexible opportunity to receive financial support, thereby actively contributing to the protection of the urban environment. With the aim of promoting not only ecological but also educational projects, an important contribution is made to increasing environmental awareness in the city. The initiatives realized through this funding help preserve Berlin’s biodiversity and enhance the recreational value of the urban landscape. Projects that combine environmental protection, climate action measures, and the conveyance of sustainable development concepts are particularly welcomed. The Berlin Nature Conservation Foundation thus provides a central support platform that enables the practical and sustainable promotion of nature- and environment-related innovations.
