With the FEIN programme (Voluntary Engagement in Neighbourhoods), the district of Spandau supports projects in which people volunteer for their neighbourhood. The aim is to enhance public facilities and places and to visibly strengthen neighbourhood involvement.

The funding is aimed at projects that have a concrete impact on the ground and are actively implemented by volunteers. The focus is on practical measures that improve the immediate neighbourhood.

Applications for the provision of volunteer funds can be submitted

until 27.02.2026

informally to the Spandau District Office of Berlin, Volunteer Office,
Carl-Schurz-Straße 2/6, 13578 Berlin
or by e-mail to

Benjamin Schneider More about FEIN funds

Funding is available for material costs for individual measures carried out on a voluntary basis, for example

• Renovation and beautification campaigns
• Planting and maintenance work
• Cleanliness and tidying up campaigns

The measures must benefit public facilities or areas, such as schools, daycare centres, sports and green spaces, neighbourhood and meeting places or public squares in the district of Spandau.

Personnel costs or projects that have already begun are not eligible for funding.

Applications can be submitted by non-profit organisations, initiatives or institutions that implement their project in the district of Spandau. The prerequisite is that volunteers are actively involved in the implementation.

The project must not have been started before the application is submitted.
