Social Commitment – Funding (Vector Foundation)

The Vector Foundation supports non-profit institutions and public-law corporations in the Stuttgart region through ongoing project funding aimed at combating homelessness and promoting the social integration of disadvantaged young adults. Projects sought should include a clear environmental analysis, a precise definition of the target group, and comprehensible impact objectives. A project duration of up to 36 months allows for comprehensive measures, covering material costs, personnel costs, administrative expenses, and travel costs – construction projects, projects abroad, and individual aid for private persons are excluded. Organizations must be based in the Stuttgart region and provide proof of non-profit status recognized by the tax office. Applications can be submitted at any time to respond flexibly to local needs.

For the application, a description of the project, the non-profit status certificate, a complete financial plan, and an environmental evaluation must be submitted. Application documents are reviewed in writing and, upon fulfillment of formal requirements, grants are awarded. The funding offers the opportunity to improve the living conditions of homeless people with a model character and to open up new perspectives for young adults. Through this targeted contribution, sustainable structures are intended to be created that contribute to long-term social stabilization in the region. An informative approach and a well-founded impact plan are the focus to achieve the greatest possible social benefit.
