Project Funding by the VGH Foundation

The project funding of the VGH Foundation is specifically aimed at non-profit, non-commercial organizations based in Lower Saxony or Bremen, including associations, foundations, public and educational institutions, as well as interest groups. Innovative initiatives in the thematic focus areas of cultural education, literature, monument preservation, and science are supported with grants. Through the biannual evaluation dates (submission deadlines: 18.03.2026 and 04.09.2026), the VGH Foundation offers reliable planning security. For the application, a fully completed online application form, a detailed project description, proof of non-profit status, and a PDF-exported "Checklist for Ecological Sustainability in Culture" must be submitted. With this instrument, the foundation sets a clear signal for environmentally conscious action and enables a voluntary self-assessment of sustainable project structures. A competent team provides support in advance regarding questions about form and content orientation.

Within the business area of VGH Versicherungen, the funding contributes to generating regional impulses in the fields of culture & media, infrastructure & urban development, education & training, as well as research & innovation. The goal is to strengthen the cultural and scientific landscape, preserve historic buildings, and expand access to cultural education for diverse target groups. By focusing on non-profit projects, a network of partners is created that sustainably anchors local development projects. A transparent decision-making structure and clear deadlines enable efficient allocation of funds. The VGH Foundation thus supports forward-looking initiatives that equally promote cultural participation, scientific exchange, and the preservation of architectural heritage.
