Nuremberg invests over 5 million euros in social projects!

Nuremberg invests over 5 million euros in social projects!

The foundation administration of the city of Nuremberg can look back on an extremely successful year 2024. In total, over 5,100 projects and people were supported, which means that a lot has happened in the city. Over five million euros went to charitable and charitable purposes, and this has certainly increased the quality of life in the region. Because as nuernberg.de reports, the money was not only distributed, but used with a clear focus: three quarters of the funds went to social and charitable projects, while the rest was used for education, culture, environmental and animal protection.

What is particularly pleasing is that the foundation administration is planning to establish new foundations in the future. The audit of a legal consumption foundation and three non-legal foundations in the areas of animal and nature conservation, youth and elderly care as well as culture and science are on the agenda. This shows a clear vision and the desire to further expand support for various subject areas, as already reported.

Together for a better Nuremberg

The citizens themselves are also very committed. Since the Nuremberg Citizens Foundation was founded in 2001, they have been actively committed to the common good. Your goal is to make Nuremberg a livable and lovable place. This foundation was created by citizens for citizens and underlines the importance of active participation in community tasks and social responsibility.

Citizen engagement in Nuremberg is not only a nice idea, but also a practical approach to promoting social cohesion. Here we are actively working on shaping coexistence, which is particularly important in these times. By supporting projects such as the movement meeting at Hasenbuck or the help office of Stiftung Sozialidee gGmbH, an important contribution to strengthening the community is already being made.

A look at the non-profit landscape

To better understand the scope of this commitment, let's take a look at the non-profit landscape in Germany. According to cividata.org, the largest nonprofit organizations achieved impressive donation volumes in 2024. The Christoffel Blind Mission tops the list with donations totaling 340,947,000 euros. The SOS Children's Villages are in second place worldwide with 244,164,012 euros, followed by Plan International Germany and the German Committee for UNICEF.

Nuremberg's involvement in the foundation scene contributes to the general vitality of this landscape. The city administration manages a total of 65 foundations whose assets amount to around 322 million euros, an increase of eleven million euros last year. This shows that supporting social projects is not only necessary, but also sustainable.

Overall, it can be said that a lot of positive things have happened in Nuremberg and continue to happen. With a high level of commitment from citizens and the city administration, the basis is being created to further enrich social and cultural life. Future developments will remain exciting to watch - because the plans for new foundations and projects are already in the starting blocks.
