Description

The Helmut Fischer Foundation supports non-profit organizations, public institutions, and educational establishments throughout Germany that engage innovatively in science communication, art, and literature. The foundation purposefully backs initiatives that convey scientific knowledge in an interconnected manner, nurture art- and literature-related projects, and preserve cultural heritage in the long term. Examples include the donation of valuable collections to research institutions or the awarding of the Helmut Fischer Prize for Science Communication by the Deutsches Museum. Through sponsorship measures, creative and interdisciplinary endeavors are enabled that equally strengthen awareness of scientific as well as humanities-related issues and make them accessible to a broad public.

Applications can be submitted continuously, allowing project and association leaders to apply for funding at any time. The initiative is particularly aimed at associations and institutions dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge, the cultivation of literary and artistic works, and the exploration of cultural legacies. Selection of funded projects is based on content quality, innovation potential, and societal relevance. This ongoing funding opportunity fosters sustainable networks between science, culture, and the public. Interested applicants can find comprehensive guidance on the application process on the Helmut Fischer Foundation’s website, thereby receiving tailored support for their projects.
