Market of Funding Opportunities 2026

Making Funding Visible

Many club chairpersons, initiatives, and volunteers are unaware of which funding programs are suitable for their project ideas. The Market of Funding Opportunities addresses exactly this: At a central location, applicants meet donors, receive advice, network with other stakeholders, and get concrete tips on which programs match their project idea.

Program and Format

The format is deliberately designed to be accessible: Instead of a traditional lecture event, the market presents itself as a stand-to-stand exhibition where visitors can gather information at their own pace. Representatives from the following areas are regularly present: Foundations with regional ties, municipal funding programs of the Wolfenbüttel district, state programs of Lower Saxony, federal programs, EU funding schemes such as ERDF or LEADER, community foundations, and savings bank foundations. Personal consultations are available without prior registration.

Venue: Till Eulenspiegel Museum

The Till Eulenspiegel Museum in Schöppenstedt offers a special atmosphere as a meeting place. The museum, dedicated to the birthplace of the legendary jester, is located in a historic building on Nordstraße. The premises allow for both focused consultation and informal exchange in a relaxed setting.
