Creating Something New Together – BASF Project Competition
Cohesion, Social affairs
Through the ‘Creating Something New Together’ project competition, BASF supports charitable organisations in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region that wish to work together to implement innovative projects. Funding of between 5,000 and 20,000 euros per project is available for collaborations involving at least two organisations.
Application deadline: 2 December 2026
Förderzwecke und Voraussetzungen
Non-profit organisations and associations from the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region are eligible to apply. The prerequisite is that at least two partners jointly develop and implement a project. The aim is to generate new approaches that make a positive contribution to the region.
Funding is available for projects in three thematic areas:
-
Promoting education: improving educational opportunities and strengthening skills.
-
Strengthening civil society: Promoting social engagement, participation and democratic coexistence.
-
Fostering connections: Bringing people together through culture, sport and shared engagement.
In addition to new project ideas, projects that have already received funding may also apply, provided they are being significantly further developed.
For those interested, BASF is offering free online information sessions on 29 October and 26 November 2026, from 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm on each occasion, with tips on how to apply.
