Mission & Vision
The Hannchen-Mehrzweck-Stiftung (hms) sees itself as a "foundation for queer movements" with the aim of questioning heteronormative and discriminatory norms and creating safe spaces for sexual and gender diversity. It supports projects that contribute to the visibility, acceptance, and empowerment of LGBTIQ* culture and community. The foundation places particular emphasis on transparency regarding the origin and use of funds, the sustainability of its investment policy, and independence from state, political, and economic interests.
Target groups
Funding is primarily provided to non-profit associations, initiatives, and projects from the LSBTIQ* and queer spectrum in Germany that contribute through educational work, culture, and research to strengthening the self-confidence, identity, and scope of action of queer people. Applicants must be recognized as non-profit and their project must align with the foundation's guiding principles.
