Johann Bünting-Stiftung is a regional German foundation focused on improving quality of life in its Ostfriesland/Niedersachsen footprint through welfare, public health, education, arts and culture, and local heritage. Its grants tend to support nonprofit associations, clubs, schools, and community institutions with practical, locally rooted projects such as reading promotion, children’s initiatives, health-related support, and cultural programming. The annual Johann Bünting-Förderpreis also highlights volunteer-led work, with themes that change year to year and a strong emphasis on civic engagement.
Primarily regional, program-based grantmaking for recognized nonprofit organizations, plus an annual award for volunteer individuals or groups. The Förderpreis awards three prizes of €6,000 each and uses an annual nomination deadline around the end of February; general project funding is application-based and likely tied to the foundation’s defined service area.
