Funding by the Eberhard Ossig Foundation

Funding from the Eberhard Ossig Foundation is aimed at non-profit organizations, educational institutions, interest groups, and associations based in Germany. As a federal-level sponsorship program, the foundation supports projects in the fields of education, culture, vocational training, and engagement for social cohesion and democracy. The goal is to create formats for encounters and dialogue events on an equal footing between Christians and Jews, in order to promote a deeper understanding of both traditions and to reduce anti-Judaism. Applications can be submitted continuously; early project planning ensures realistic budgeting and contributes to successful approval.

Interested schools, university communities, church congregations, and civil society initiatives organizing interreligious exchange will find a reliable funding institution in the Eberhard Ossig Foundation. A prerequisite for funding is a precise project description with a clear concept for Jewish-Christian dialogue as well as a detailed financing plan. Applicants must also provide proof of non-profit status. Evaluation criteria include the contribution to interreligious exchange, experience in the area of encounters, and the plausibility of the time and cost planning. Applications are submitted in an uncomplicated manner at any time and in digital form. This offer opens up diverse opportunities for networking, knowledge transfer, and documentation of joint projects – from study trips and student exchanges to commemorative and documentation initiatives.
