Because we believe it is important to bring together people who actively engage in their communities and take responsibility, the EWE Stiftung has been supporting civic engagement and volunteer work for two decades. As a funding foundation, we focus on education and upbringing, art and culture, science, as well as nature and environmental protection – in the regions between the Ems, Weser, and Elbe rivers, in parts of Brandenburg, and on the island of Rügen.
