FUCHS Sponsorship Award: EUR 75,000 for social projects in Mannheim

FUCHS believes that every company carries a great deal of social responsibility alongside its business obligations. Active involvement in tackling a wide range of social challenges is firmly anchored in our corporate culture and has a long tradition. In line with this principle FUCHS has supported exemplary initiatives and projects in Mannheim's social establishments with the Sponsorship Award since 2000. Funding is available for projects aimed at a wide variety of target groups: children & young people, senior citizens, people with physical or mental disabilities, migrants and many more.

The Sponsorship Award, under the patronage of the Lord Mayor of Mannheim Christian Specht is awarded on an annual basis.

This year, the FUCHS Sponsorship Award celebrated its 25th anniversary. The prize fund was endowed with EUR 75,000 and is distributed to several projects. The winners were selected from all submitted applications together with the department “Arbeit und Soziales" of the City of Mannheim and subsequently awarded in the official ceremony on October 23, 2024.

Specific focus topics are particularly important to us – also when it comes to social commitment.
