Description
The Wilhelm and Käthe Kracke Foundation supports practice-oriented initiatives in the fields of youth welfare, education, upbringing, and youth health, with a special focus on disadvantaged children, adolescents, and young adults. Non-profit organizations and schools can apply annually for grants of up to €15,000, with a funding period of up to three years. Projects must demonstrate at least 30% own funds and may exclusively cover personnel costs, material expenses, and travel costs. Political or commercial projects, double funding, as well as purely planning and fundraising activities are excluded.
The selection is based on established criteria such as social relevance, sustainability, self-help, and – for international projects – emission certification. Proof of non-profit status as well as timely submission of the application including project description, timeline and financing plan, and confirmation of own funds are prerequisites. The deadlines for application submission are February 28 and September 30 each year. Following positive evaluation by the advisory board, approval is granted according to available funds. Annual reports and expenditure verification ensure transparency and document the achievement of objectives and sustainability of the funded measures.
