Volker Brumme Foundation

Since its founding in Braunschweig, the Volker-Brumme Foundation has supported a variety of projects in the fields of education, youth welfare, culture, as well as science and environmental protection through a continuous grant procedure. As a trust foundation under the umbrella of the Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig, it exclusively supports non-profit organizations and public-law institutions that implement projects within the city of Braunschweig. Its funding mandate includes, in addition to the upbringing and education of children and young people, monument preservation, sports, and many other socially relevant areas. By covering personnel and material costs, the foundation makes an important contribution to the sustainable development and strengthening of social cohesion in the city.

The foundation pursues a broad funding objective aimed at the selfless support of projects that sustainably improve the well-being of the people living in Braunschweig. This includes, among other things, measures to promote art and culture, initiatives in the areas of environmental protection, nature conservation, and climate protection, as well as projects in research and innovation. In this context, projects that specifically support children and young people and contribute to the improvement of education and upbringing are supported. Funding eligibility applies both to initiatives in infrastructure and urban development as well as to engagement in the social sector. The foundation places great importance on sustainable impact and positive societal influence, which is why all funding applications must be submitted by entities recognized as non-profit or public-law bodies and only projects in Braunschweig are considered.

Interested organizations may submit applications for project funding during the ongoing procedure, whereby extensive documentation such as a tax exemption certificate and a detailed project description in PDF format are required. The funding projects are regularly discussed in board meetings, and feedback is provided within approximately four weeks. The funding areas range from construction and monument preservation to social and sports initiatives as well as scientific and innovative projects. With its long-standing commitment and close cooperation with other foundations and sponsors, the Volker-Brumme Foundation provides a stable financial and ideological support for projects that contribute to the cultural and social progress in Braunschweig. Thus, this funding represents a significant opportunity for organizations to realize sustainable and forward-looking projects.
