About the funder
The Eberhard Ossig Foundation is a non-profit legal foundation under civil law based in Berlin. With an endowment of 170,000 euros (as of January 2018), it promotes a deeper understanding of Judaism among Christians and of Christianity among Jews. The aim is to enable encounters and dialogue on an equal footing. Since summer 2018, the foundation has operated its own event space (approx. 70 m²) at Markgrafenstraße 88, diagonally opposite the Jewish Museum, where lectures, readings, study trips, and cultural events take place.

Mission & Vision
The Eberhard Ossig Foundation is committed to raising awareness among Christians of their Jewish roots and enabling Jews to become acquainted with Christianity. It believes in the enriching power of mutual listening and shared experiences. By promoting encounters, exchange, and dialogue, it aims to reduce prejudices and strengthen understanding between the two religious communities.
Target groups
The funding opportunities and events of the Eberhard Ossig Foundation are aimed at Christians and Jews who are interested in deeper interreligious dialogue and exchange. Individuals and groups (e.g., church congregations, Jewish communities, schools, universities) that carry out projects and programs related to Jewish-Christian encounters, study trips, and intercultural education are supported.
