Apolo Lifefoundation fundGet involved
A foundation fund with an active role in project delivery
Everyone wants to live in a pleasant environment, be healthy and feel part of a community. We help bring to life projects developed with local communities, experts and local representatives, nurturing them from the initial idea through implementation to sustaining long-term results.
Connecting people and landscapes
Our quality of life is shaped by our surroundings and our relationships with others. Caring for the landscape and taking part in local activities strengthen our sense of belonging and connection to the place we call home.
We support people committed to their region and local initiatives that care for its landscape and development. We help them combine local knowledge with professional expertise, develop projects and find partners to put them into practice.
We guide them from understanding the area through implementation to follow-up care and monitoring. We check whether measures work as intended and help address emerging needs. We are happy to share our project experience with new partners and help apply proven principles elsewhere, adapting them to local conditions.

We listen to people who live and manage land in the area, collect data and explore connections.
We bring together municipalities, landowners, experts and active local residents. Together, we identify the needs of the area and opportunities to cooperate.
We coordinate specialist studies, project documentation, discussions with landowners, the necessary permits and the search for funding.
We help implement measures with specialist and local partners. We help agree who will be responsible for follow-up care.
We monitor the effects of measures and share experience through guidance, education and cooperation between regions.
