Project Funding for Regional/Social Engagement (Schöffel Foundation)

The Project Funding for Regional/Social Engagement of the Schöffel Foundation specifically focuses on initiatives within the Augsburg home region. Funding is provided to non-profit organizations, educational institutions, interest groups, associations, and private individuals who wish to implement ambitious projects in the areas of social affairs, education, child and youth welfare, inclusion, and senior citizen work. The emphasis is on services for children, adolescents, families, people with disabilities, and socially disadvantaged or elderly individuals. Whether supplementary school programs, regional infrastructure measures, or innovative concepts to strengthen community spirit – every idea that contributes to the sustainable development of the region finds an open ear here and financial support in the form of a grant. The only requirements are a location in the Augsburg region and a clear connection to social, educational, or regional engagement on site.

Project applications can be submitted at any time, making spontaneous funding decisions just as feasible as long-term planned projects. To apply, simply complete the official application form. The goal is to equally consider the diverse needs of different target groups and to promote the participation of all citizens. Through this flexible and straightforward awarding practice, the Schöffel Foundation helps ensure that projects are implemented quickly and that direct impact is felt in the region. Interested project leaders in Augsburg and the surrounding area thus gain a reliable partner for the realization of non-profit initiatives.
