RVB-Bürgerstiftung Ostfriesland supports community-based charitable work in Ostfriesland, with a strong emphasis on local impact in culture, social services, education, and other public-benefit activities. Its giving is closely tied to the Raiffeisen-Volksbank regional ecosystem, including small project grants, a community foundation vehicle, sports recognition awards, and crowdfunding matches for local initiatives. Nonprofits that are rooted in the region and can show clear community benefit, volunteer engagement, or youth/family impact are the best fit.
Primarily small, locally targeted grants and match funding in the RVB service area, with annual discretionary payouts from the Bürgerstiftung and project-based support through the Regionalfonds and Foernanner matching pool. Funding is typically modest (often a few thousand euros or less), and some opportunities are invite-based or tied to specific programs such as the Sterne des Sports award.
