Project Funding by the Ursula Wandres Foundation

The Ursula Wandres Foundation continuously grants subsidies for non-profit initiatives in the fields of social affairs, art, and culture, with clear focuses on social participation, equality, promotion of democracy, integration, empowerment, and intercultural cooperation. Within the European Union, projects are supported that strengthen social cohesion, reflect current issues, and open up new perspectives through artistic or social scopes of action. Particular emphasis is placed on ambitious projects whose level of innovation, relevance, and long-term impact promise sustainable added value for diverse target groups. The foundation regards art and culture as platforms for dialogue on diversity, tolerance, and equal opportunities and therefore promotes initiatives that address these topics both locally and across borders.

Funding is exclusively provided to non-commercial entities such as associations, educational institutions, interest groups, or public bodies, provided they comply with the funding guidelines of the Ursula Wandres Foundation. Selection is based on alignment with the defined funding priorities, societal added value, and the topicality of the proposed projects. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for flexible planning. Through this continuous funding approach, the foundation supports sustainable cooperations and contributes to enabling committed actors to set new impulses for an inclusive and democratic coexistence within the EU.
