Bürgerstiftung Lörrach is a community foundation “by citizens for citizens” that focuses on strengthening local civic life in and around Lörrach through volunteer-led, nonpartisan, non-religious support. Its giving centers on social projects for children, youth, families, and older adults, with a strong emphasis on education, culture, environmental learning, and practical help that improves participation in community life. It also stands out for providing in-kind IT equipment to reduce digital exclusion and for using a yearly tombola to fund children’s access to enrichment activities.
Primarily local, small-to-moderate community grants and in-kind support, with programs that are either annual (tombola funding for children’s activities) or application-based for general project support. Funding is mostly targeted to the Lörrach area, with occasional exceptions in Baden-Württemberg; ReUse-IT provides donated refurbished hardware rather than cash grants.
