News Deadline for applications closed
On September 30, the deadline for applications for funding was closed. As a charitable foundation, we have been funding projects and initiatives (especially in East Africa and Eastern Europe) for more than 10 years. The funded projects focus on the implementation of renewable energy projects.
This year saw a new record: twice as many applications were submitted as in 2017!
In the weeks to come, we will evaluate all proposals and will inform applicants as soon as possible on the final funding decisions.
We are very excited about the strong interest and are looking forward to learning more about the various project ideas.
An overview over the projects we have been funding in previous years can be found here.
