How we support
The Crespo Foundation actively approaches organizations and independently searches for funding partners that pursue common impact goals with their initiatives.
We attach particular importance to ensuring that the organizations we support respond to specific needs, achieve sustainable impact and work with solutions that are transferable to other contexts.
As a consumer foundation, we enter into large and multi-year partnerships, accompany our funding partners and support their further development - especially with regard to their impact orientation, financial sustainability, scaling and professionalization. We know that these aspects have different weightings in our thematic areas, from art to educational opportunities.
Regionally, we focus on Frankfurt, Hesse, the Rhine-Main region and, as a thematic supplement, also on nationwide funding.
The Crespo Foundation is committed to helping people develop their creativity and build confidence in their own abilities. We encourage people to take responsibility for the future and thus contribute to a humane and open society. To this end, we focus on the areas of educational opportunities, cultural education, personal empowerment and art.
The most important target groups for funding are Children and young people, artists, women and girls, people with a history of flight and migration.
