Mission & Vision

The Rudolf Augstein Foundation is committed to the legacy of its namesake: We promote critical and independent journalism, enhance the starting and development opportunities for disadvantaged children and youth, and enable artistic experiments that question social injustices and open up new perspectives. Through this, we aim to provide impetus, create perspectives, and enable the extraordinary.

Target groups

The funding programs are aimed at journalists, editorial teams, and organizations that develop investigative and public interest projects or test innovative business models; at students and doctoral candidates pursuing a career as journalists (journalistic scholarships); at artists and cultural projects across all disciplines that experimentally address socially relevant topics and transcend disciplinary boundaries; as well as at non-profit initiatives and institutions that provide disadvantaged children and young people with opportunities for the transition from school to work or carry out integration work in challenging environments.
