Promoting Shaping the Future - Andrea & Markus Eisel Foundation

The Andrea & Markus Eisel Foundation supports nonprofit educational and research projects nationwide that focus on self-determined and sustainable learning for children and adolescents. Grants are awarded to innovative pedagogical concepts, extracurricular learning opportunities, as well as social and ecological initiatives. Emphasis is placed on aspects such as active participation, respectful relationships, and a prepared environment to initiate and accompany long-term effective learning processes. The funding areas include education, initial and continuing training, research and innovation, environmental/nature conservation, as well as labor and social affairs, and also target projects in the fields of energy efficiency and climate protection.

Eligible for funding are nonprofit organizations, educational and training institutions, foundations, and public bodies that can provide proof of nonprofit status and promote self-organized learning among children and adolescents. Project funding applications can be submitted at any time, as the foundation continuously makes funding decisions. The grants are aimed at those who create sustainable learning spaces, support scientific studies, or conduct public relations to disseminate self-organized educational approaches. The goal is to generate new impulses for a future-oriented, participatory educational landscape.
