CURRENT
Donation Status 9/25
Current donation pledges amount to approximately 2.5 million Euros; the minimum goal to be able to award the construction contract for Noah's Ark is approximately 8 million Euros.
Construction of the Ark's Structure 8/25
The Ark will be raised by approximately 5 meters, resulting in an additional area of approximately 3,000 square meters. This eliminates a large portion of the costs for the second exhibition building; now a small administration and entrance building is sufficient. The science and cultural exhibition will be placed in the base area of the Ark.
Construction Drawings 07/25
Initial construction drawings of the Ark are being prepared; these are crucial for more accurate cost estimation and as a basis for decision-making for all subsequent trades.
Timeline: Construction of the Ark + Exhibition Content 07/25
Further expert discussions have shown that, under normal circumstances, the construction of the Ark can be completed within 12 months. The creation of the exhibition content is not possible within one year; if you wish to assist us in preparation by indicating your intention to support, please send us an email with keywords for assistance options: see the SUPPORT tab.
Increase Project Awareness 07/25
In the coming weeks/months, several designed advertisements will be placed in important Christian media (FACTUM, IDEA, ETHOS, etc.). The direct distribution figures alone already total well over 100,000 readers (plus secondary readers through sharing). It is very likely that additional supporters will be found and new networks will emerge.
Sponsors 07/25
We have received significant letters of intent for our financing from various entrepreneurs; further information on this will be available in August at the earliest; in parallel with contacts with donors, funding providers, and foundations, we still need more 'broad shoulders' to be able to finance the essential construction project.
Location 07/25
Out of five positive responses, a particularly interesting site along the A2 highway has emerged; it is located between Braunschweig and Magdeburg. An approved development plan is in place, meaning an official start would be possible in 2026. These are two different projects that both overlap and complement each other well due to their intended target groups; the remaining reserve area is precisely sufficient for our cultural park!
Funding / Foundations 06/25
The contract for developing public funding subsidies has been awarded; additionally, the examination and evaluation of foundation opportunities will be conducted.
