Description
The St. George Scout Foundation awards financial grants within the framework of its nationwide project funding to non-profit branches of the German Scout Association Saint George (DPSG) at the local, district, diocesan, and federal levels. Funded are innovative and supraregional measures that further develop scouting activities, strengthen youth education, and emphasize democratic engagement. The call targets exceptional projects whose model character provides impulses to other DPSG entities. Eligible expenses include project, event, and personnel costs, while expenses for real estate, campsites, as well as equipment and furnishings are excluded. An appropriate contribution in kind and symbolic participation in the foundation euro underscore the shared commitment to the foundation’s objectives.
Submissions are accepted twice annually by March 31 and September 30, always prior to project commencement. Applicants must provide a meaningful project description, a detailed financing and cost plan, and upon completion, a proof of use. In a multi-stage process, the foundation board reviews the criteria of “exceptional character,” “supraregional significance,” and “innovative nature.” Funding decisions are made promptly following the meetings. Successful projects commit to making the funding publicly visible and to submitting a final report for further presentation on the foundation’s website. Through this procedure, the foundation aims to support exemplary scouting initiatives and sustainably strengthen the impact of youth promotion in Germany.
