Over 1 million euros for non-profit organizations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania!
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, impressive sums flow from the coffers of public prosecutors and courts to support non-profit organizations. In 2024, a total of over 1.1 million euros were collected from discontinued criminal proceedings and distributed to various social projects. These funds are more than just a small drop in the ocean, because they strengthen the social network in the region and help directly where help is needed most. NDR reports that institutions such as the Weiße Ring, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt and the Johanniteraccident Aid in particular benefit from these donations.
The distribution of funds is quick and targeted. The decision as to which organizations receive funding lies in the hands of public prosecutors and judges. They have access to a comprehensive list of around 650 non-profit associations, which is compiled by the Rostock Higher Regional Court. Anyone who wants to be included in this list must prove that they are a non-profit organization. Justice Minister Jacqueline Bernhardt emphasizes the careful selection of funding recipients. Care facilities, hospices and offerings for victim protection and prevention work are very popular. Loud Government M-V Around 60 percent of the money was allocated to non-profit organizations.
Mediator between law and charity
In comparison to previous years, there is a positive trend: in 2024, a total of over 1.7 million euros were issued in financial support, with around 1.1 million euros going directly to non-profit organizations. This is a significant increase compared to 2023, when around 1.6 million euros took place and around 942,000 euros were distributed to the clubs. These funds will particularly benefit projects that care for seriously ill children, as well as other important social initiatives. Northern Courier highlights that around 70 percent of the funding in recent years has gone to such institutions.
A look at last year's top receivers makes it clear where the focus lies. The Dreikönigshospice in Neubrandenburg topped the list and received 32,540 euros, followed by the “Child in the Hospital” support association with 30,100 euros and the Wismar traffic police with 26,800 euros. These amounts are not just numbers; they often mean the difference between success and failure for the respective projects.
Long-term support through monetary requirements
In total, the funding over the last ten years has reached more than 14 million euros, which has supported many heart-felt projects in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The process stipulates that in the case of minor crimes, proceedings can be discontinued upon payment of a fine, which is an opportunity for the perpetrators to achieve a lasting positive effect.
The state treasury always receives a portion of the fines, but the real benefit is that local people can benefit from these funds. This not only creates a sense of justice but also promotes community solidarity. In doing so, the authorities show that it is not just about punishment, but also about reparation and support.
Overall, the money from the monetary requirements shows how important close cooperation between jurisprudence and social responsibility is. Investments in the community are not only a step in the right direction, but also a strong sign of coexistence in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
