Bürgerstiftung Unna is a community foundation focused on strengthening civic life in Unna and the wider Kreis Unna through locally rooted, charitable projects. Its giving is especially visible in support for education, youth, seniors, sports, and arts/culture, but it also backs social welfare efforts, neighborhood initiatives, and place-based improvements that build community cohesion. The foundation often works with local partners and family or named funds under its umbrella, which allows it to make both small project grants and larger, fund-specific commitments.
Primarily local project grants in Unna/Kreis Unna, with funding ranging from small one-off awards to larger coordinated grants through named funds and treuhand foundations. Giving appears to be responsive and community-based rather than highly formalized, often supporting visible local initiatives and partner organizations; some funds have substantial endowed capital and make fund-specific grants.

Because some support comes through named funds and treuhand foundations, applicants should review the specific fund purpose and local eligibility criteria on the website and expect a community-oriented, project-based process rather than broad national funding.
Who can apply: Projects should fit one of the foundation's funding priorities: giving children and young people prospects, supporting disadvantaged people, promoting encounters among citizens in Unna, or supporting environmental and nature conservation. Applicants should describe why support is needed, what it will be used for, and the amount needed.
