About Bechtle Stiftung gGmbH

Bechtle Stiftung gGmbH focuses on using IT as a lever for social progress, with a clear emphasis on education, diversity, and gender equality in technology careers. Its flagship activity is the "female upgreat" scholarship program, which supports women at multiple career stages in IT, from school and training through university and early professional life. The foundation also appears to back reading and child-focused outreach initiatives and collaborates with major German partners on national awareness and inclusion efforts.

Giving Approach

Primarily programmatic, partnership-based giving through a branded scholarship initiative and collaborative campaigns with established nonprofits and institutions. Support appears to be focused on Germany with some Europe-wide reach, and at least one program has a published application deadline and target groups rather than open-ended grantmaking.

How to approach this funder

Watch the scholarship deadlines closely and apply through the female upgreat program if eligible; the current published cutoff for school-age applicants is 19.06.2026. This looks like a targeted, eligibility-driven program rather than an open grant application process, so applicants should align closely with the defined women-in-IT audience and career-stage criteria.
