Foundation prize: 3,000 euros for outstanding civic engagement in OHZ!

In Osterholz-Scharmbeck it is again about good involvement in the community. The Arnholt Community Foundation has announced that it will again be offering a foundation prize of 3,000 euros to support voluntary projects. This award was created to continue the legacy of Otto Arnholt, who left part of his fortune to the city in 1991.

The topics are diverse and range from education to environmental protection to social work. The prize has been awarded to various local initiatives in recent years, including the youth group “De Plattmüüs” and the association “OHZ Helps”. Anzeiger-Verlag reports that ...

Commitment is rewarded

The community foundation has set itself the goal of accumulating large endowment capital in order to finance long-term projects. This year a total of 20,000 euros is available, which can be distributed across various initiatives. The proposals are viewed and voted on by the jury, consisting of members of the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board. Care is taken to ensure that the funded projects in the areas of education, art, environmental and animal protection as well as civic engagement have a positive impact on the community. Citizen society informs that...

The Arnholt Community Foundation Prize can be applied for by individuals, groups or associations. It is important to note that the proposed institutions must be non-profit, although projects that have already been implemented also have the opportunity to receive funding. Submissions can be made to the town hall in writing, by telephone or by email. The gala evening that follows the award ceremony will be held at St. Mary's Church, a place with a historical connection to Otto Arnholt, who founded the community foundation.
