Alfred Kärcher-Förderstiftung supports public-benefit research projects aligned with Alfred Kärcher’s legacy, with a strong emphasis on cleaning technology, hygiene, value preservation, environmental protection, and the mechanization/automation of manual work. The foundation appears to back innovative applied research rather than broad charitable programming, typically funding projects in Germany and Europe that advance practical technical solutions. Its annual research call suggests a structured, highly targeted grantmaking approach for institutions and research teams working in the foundation’s core fields.
Annual competitive research grant program with a March announcement, July 31 submission deadline, and award decisions in Q4; supports nonprofit research projects with funding up to €100,000 per project.
Watch for the annual call in March and submit by July 31. Applications should clearly show nonprofit research status, technical innovation, and direct relevance to cleaning technology, hygiene, environmental protection, or automation of manual labor; geographic relevance is typically Germany or Europe.
