2,000 projects for stronger cooperation: funding initiative starts

funding opportunities for committed people from August 2024

From August 19, 2024, committed citizens, clubs and initiatives in North Rhine-Westphalia have the opportunity to submit applications for financial support. This is done as part of the small funding program "2,000 x 1,000 euros for the commitment", which provides a fixed amount of 1,000 euros per project.

where does the money go?

The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia provides a total of two million euros as part of this initiative. This enables up to 2,000 different projects to be promoted. The funding is part of the campaign "Du+Wir = one-North Rhine-Westphalia against loneliness", which aims to strengthen social engagement and to counteract loneliness among the population.

why is that important?

With this initiative, not only financial support is provided, but a sign of the importance of community and cohesion is also set. In times when many people feel isolated, it is crucial to create platforms and opportunities that promote cooperation. The small support program creates incentives for creative and innovative ideas that enrich local coexistence.

who can apply?

The funding is aimed at a broad target group. Committed citizens who are active in clubs or civil society interaction can submit projects. This enables different groups and initiatives to realize their ideas and thus make a positive contribution.

conclusion

The new funding opportunities in North Rhine-Westphalia are an important initiative to combat loneliness and strengthen social engagement. By providing financial means for projects that promote the sense of community, a path is paved to approach local challenges and improve social cohesion. From August 19, if applications can be submitted, numerous committed people can actively contribute to improving their communities.
