- Occasion: Donation handover of the sponsorship campaign “Stadtwerke HEIMVORTEIL”

Support for Local Community
On Thursday evening, May 28, 2026, the Kundencenter of the Stadtwerke Jena Gruppe became a meeting point for regional volunteering. More than 40 committed citizens came together as Claudia Budich, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck, presented the donation checks. With this support, the company honors the work of local initiatives that often lack the necessary financial resources.
The donation totaling 15,000 euros will be distributed among 30 projects. The financial aid flows directly into specific local projects to sustainably strengthen social life and cohesion in both the cities and rural areas.
Criteria and Categories of the Supported Clubs
The supported projects cover a wide range of social areas. The selection of the clubs was based on specific criteria to ensure the most diverse support possible in the region:
- Environment, Nature & Social: Support for non-profit projects, such as the creation of a barrier-free school garden.
- Sports & Youth Promotion: Acquisition of training equipment for sports clubs and financing of holiday workshops, including at the physical-astronomical faculty of the Universität Jena.
- Culture, Leisure & Community: Renovation of meeting places (including the Waldschänke in Dürrengleina), acquisition of stage equipment, and the organization of garden festivals and children’s cinemas.
- Infrastructure in Rural Areas: Maintenance and restoration of hiking trails in smaller communities.
🎭 The Sponsoring Program “Heimvorteil”
The sponsorship program “Stadtwerke HEIMVORTEIL” of Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck was established to strengthen voluntary commitment directly on the doorstep. Since smaller clubs and rural initiatives often have no access to large sponsorship pots, the campaign offers uncomplicated financial support. The goal is to promote social interaction and make life in Jena and the adjacent districts even more livable by strengthening local networks.
