sponsorship
The legal and financial responsibility for operating a public or social institution such as a school, hospital, or kindergarten.
Die Trägerschaft für die neue Kindertagesstätte hat ein gemeinnütziger Verein übernommen.
A nonprofit association has taken over the sponsorship of the new daycare center.
The word is derived from 'tragen' (to carry/bear). The 'Träger' (sponsor/provider) is the person or organization that 'trägt' (carries/bears) the responsibility. The ending '-schaft' turns this into an abstract noun that describes the status or function of the sponsor/provider.
Der Träger des Kindergartens ist eine Elterninitiative.
The sponsor/provider of the kindergarten is a parents' initiative.
'Trägerschaft' is a formal term from administrative language. You often find it in official documents, contracts, or reports about social and public institutions.
Im Vertrag wird die Trägerschaft der Schule genau geregelt.
The sponsorship of the school is precisely regulated in the contract.
The preposition 'in' or 'unter' is often used: An institution is 'unter der Trägerschaft von' someone (under the sponsorship of someone) or is 'in Trägerschaft' einer Organisation (under the sponsorship of an organization). You can also say 'die Trägerschaft übernehmen' (to take over the sponsorship).
