Financial Support: Significant Amounts of Euros Being Channelled Towards Breckerfelder Initiatives
In the district of Breckerfeld, 19 projects will be funded in 2025, including five in the Hanseatic city. This funding comes from the Leader Region, a programme designed to support small projects.
The Leader Region provides annual funding for small projects, focusing on infrastructure development and improvements, particularly in rural and tribal communities. Eligible applicants typically include local governments, tribal governments, non-profit organisations, and sometimes special districts. Projects should align with program priorities such as improving water infrastructure, housing, health, climate resilience, or emergency preparedness.
Funding is usually provided as grants or low-interest loans, sometimes with no match (no cost-share) requirements, especially for tribal and rural applicants. Grants can be used to engage legal, technical, and financial advisors to advance project planning and implementation.
In Breckerfeld, several projects have received grants this year. The St. Jakobus Breckerfeld Support Association received a grant of 14,031.06 Euros for the purchase of 100 stackable chairs with a telescopic connection and an extendable book shelf for the Catholic Church. Breckerfeld City Marketing received grants for the purchase of two additional smiley signs to warn drivers if they are speeding, and to expand the Christmas lights in Delle and improve the lighting concept for winter. The amount for these grants was not specified.
TuS Breckerfeld 1877, a local sports club, received a grant of 14,930 Euros for the purchase of noise-reducing barriers for the multipurpose sports field. Ev. Jakobus-Kirchengemeinde Breckerfeld, a local church, received a grant of 2,206.54 Euros to acquire two new defibrillators for the community house Zurstraße and the Melanchthonhaus in Breckerfeld.
The Leader Region funding is part of the Ennepe.Zukunft.Ruhr region's initiatives. Ann-Kathrin Heck is the Regional Manager of the Ennepe.Zukunft.Ruhr region. Over 70 projects have been successfully implemented in the last five years under the Ennepe.Zukunft.Ruhr region.
The specific details of the five projects from Breckerfeld that received grants are not provided in the text. However, it is worth noting that projects in the Leader Region must have public benefit or public accessibility. For more detailed information, it is recommended to consult the official Leader Region Funding program materials or website for exact details.
The Leader Region, in its commitment to small projects, allocates annual funding designed for infrastructure improvements and development, often extending to business ventures as well. With the distributions in 2025, 19 projects across Breckerfeld and the Hanseatic city will get financial aid, potentially boosting local economics and businesses.
