Funding of the Doris Wuppermann Foundation

The Doris Wuppermann Foundation, based in Munich, supports young people in Bavaria who advocate for a social democracy and social cohesion beyond party affiliations and career ambitions. As a grant provider, it funds initiatives in which adolescents and young adults independently develop political engagement and responsibly shape their future. The focus is particularly on projects that test innovative forms of participation and democracy education. The foundation places importance on promoting program ideas that strengthen social inclusion and make a sustainable contribution to political culture.

Applications can be submitted by private individuals until June 30, 2026. A prerequisite is the timely submission of all documents required in the official application form, as well as proof that the project promotes the political engagement of young people. A decision by the board is expected by mid-July 2026; approval enables a project start no earlier than August 15, 2026. Interested youths, students, and young professionals who wish to take responsibility for shaping social processes themselves receive with this grant an uncomplicated and encouraging funding opportunity. The Doris Wuppermann Foundation thus provides a reliable framework to implement creative and impact-oriented ideas in the field of democratic participation.
