Zell Citizens' Association distributes 25,000 euros for numerous projects!
In Zell, the funding from the local citizens' association was distributed, and with great success. Those responsible gave a total of 25,000 euros to various clubs and institutions to support their projects. The mayor's deputy, Thomas Kaiser, praised the citizens' association's valuable work, which includes not only local sports and cultural projects, but also municipal facilities such as kindergartens and schools. These grants demonstrate the community’s commitment to a vibrant and diverse culture.
The highest individual amounts went to the regional FC Zell, which received 2,400 euros for a new bus for youth teams. The Gresgen sports club can also look forward to receiving 2,100 euros to purchase a new wrestling mat. 1,800 euros will also be used to support the fanfare procession, which urgently needs new heating for its clubhouse.
Broad support for many projects
The list of funded projects is long and varied. Among other things, the traditional costume group will receive 1,750 euros, and the Zell senior center will receive 1,700 euros.

How to apply for funding
Funding projects is an art in itself. Many clubs know that they have to partially finance themselves through membership fees and donations. But for larger projects, grants are often indispensable. The requirements for funding vary widely and are usually tied to non-profit status. As a rule, funding does not provide 100% financing, so personal contribution is required. Membership fees or sponsorship can be valuable help here. Researching suitable funding institutions is essential, and local contacts are often the first point of contact for interested clubs and institutions, as deutsches-ehrenamt.de recommends.
With the support of funding, it becomes easier for many projects to be implemented, be it in culture, sport or even social projects. It remains to be hoped that the positive development in Zell will serve as a model for other communities and provide inspiration for the importance of a strong local community.
