Funding of the Maecenata Foundation

The Maecenata Foundation operates as an independent think tank that engages intensively with the topics of civil society, civic engagement, philanthropy, and the foundation sector. Founded in 2010, the foundation pursues, among other goals, the promotion of science, education, research, and development cooperation. It places particular emphasis on supporting initiatives and organizations committed to social cohesion, migration, environmental protection, and cultural projects. As a non-profit organization, it offers versatile financial support in the form of grants in Berlin, with its work also encompassing international aspects such as transnational donation transfers and civil society engagement.

The funding is exclusively aimed at non-profit institutions active in the fields of education, culture, science, monument preservation, vocational training, labor and social affairs, sports, as well as other innovative and sustainability-related areas. The Maecenata Foundation provides ongoing funding opportunities and supports projects that aim to address social and environmental policy challenges. In this context, approaches to promoting energy efficiency, climate protection, infrastructure, and urban development are also considered. The foundation’s institutional expertise and its long-standing experience in donation transfers offer a solid basis for organizations seeking to achieve sustainable impact with their projects.

The diverse funding areas of the Maecenata Foundation combine scientific and educational approaches with practical implementation in development cooperation. Targeted support is provided for projects that possess both regional and international relevance. The funding strategy aims to advance innovative ideas and new concepts in the fields of culture, social affairs, and the environment, while simultaneously strengthening civic engagement. Interested initiatives and organizations can find additional information and further details about the funding program on the Maecenata Foundation website.
