Funding by the Berthold Leibinger Foundation

The funding provided by the Berthold Leibinger Foundation is aimed at non-profit, charitable, and church organizations in Germany that are active in the fields of science, culture, church, and social affairs. The focus is on supporting innovative research projects, strengthening cultural diversity, backing diaconal initiatives, and promoting people on the margins of society. As a grant provider, the foundation offers long-term funding partnerships as well as one-time funding lines, including awards and calls such as the Innovation and Future Prize or the Comic Book Prize. Applications can be submitted continuously, enabling ongoing planning and implementation of sustainable projects.

Supported are initiatives that hold a non-profit, charitable, or church status and implement a specific project within one of the four focus areas. The Berthold Leibinger Foundation seeks projects that create social value, spark curiosity, and build bridges between science, culture, and social engagement. Through a targeted selection process, fundable projects are accompanied as reliable partners over several years. The call has no fixed deadlines, allowing applicants to present their project ideas at any time and begin a trusting collaboration with the foundation.
