Zolling, 25.01.2023 – The winning projects of the Zolling 2022 Power Plant Citizens’ Fund were honored today at a ceremony. A total of 17 associations and social institutions from the region can look forward to individual grants of between 300 and 2,000 euros. In total, the Zolling power plant provided a budget of 20,000 euros for the Citizens’ Fund 2022. An independent jury decided on the allocation of the funds.

Lothar Schreiber, head of the Zolling power plant: “After we were unable to advertise the citizens’ fund for two years in a row due to the pandemic, I am delighted that we can again make an active contribution to social life in the power plant’s neighborhood. As an important employer in the region, we will continue to support an active civil society.”

An independent jury consisting of Helmut Priller, Mayor of Zolling, Arabella Gittler-Reichel, Head of the Office for Youth and Family in the Freising District Office, Gottfried Herrmann, Head of the 3klang gGmbH Music School in Freising and Anja Aigner, Municipal Councillor Haag a. d. Amper took on the responsible task of selecting the funding projects from the 31 applications. The project applications could be submitted during a six-week period from August 12 to September 26, 2022.

As a partner of the region, the Zolling power plant has been promoting local charitable projects for more than nine years. This year, initiators and non-profit sponsors from the communities of Attenkirchen, Haag an der Amper, Kirchdorf an der Amper, Langenbach, Marzling, Nandlstadt, Wolfersdorf, Zolling and the town of Freising were again able to apply for financial support for their projects.
