Foundations of the City of Überlingen (Funding through city-administered foundations)

The city of Überlingen provides financial resources through several municipally managed foundations – including the Spital and Donation Fund, the Dr. Max Bommer Foundation, the Zentgraf Foundation, and the United Scholarship Foundation – to sustainably support nonprofit initiatives. The focus is on social initiatives, educational projects, commitment to democracy and social cohesion, as well as training and further education measures. Applications can be submitted at any time and are processed by the city of Überlingen’s treasury and controlling departments. A prerequisite for funding is proof of a nonprofit purpose as well as a verifiable location or activity in Überlingen.

Nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and private individuals whose projects make a measurable contribution to the common good are eligible for funding. Support is provided in the form of grants awarded on a project basis to ensure long-term impact within the regional context of Baden-Württemberg. Interested applicants submit their documents to the treasury, with both the formal application and proof of the funding purpose playing a central role. Through continuously open funding opportunities, the city of Überlingen offers the chance to realize both spontaneous ideas and longer-term projects that strengthen the city’s social and educational fabric.
