In 2002, the Urbis Foundation was founded by the family Epp in Munich, Germany. The reason for their commitment was the family’s wish to contribute to the protection of our climate and environment. The charitable foundation Urbis Foundation supports projects in the area of renewable energies (solar electricity, solar thermal, biomass). Sponsorship is offered to projects who promote access to environmentally friendly energy in regions lacking a large-scale energy supply. The main focus of sponsorship is the use of renewable energies in the following areas: health care, education, solar institutions as well as agriculture.
To apply for funding, a project has to comply with the following requirements: (1) Focus of project content on renewable energies (solar power, solar thermal, biomass); (2) Regional focus on Sub-Saharan Africa (especially East Africa) or Eastern Europe; (3) Sustainability of the project is highlighted. Moreover, they consider projects that have an additional focus on gender and the promotion of women as especially eligible.
2) Eligibility
