Die Berliner Stiftung für Dermatologie fördert vor allem dermatologische Forschung, Fortbildung und die Übertragung wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse in die klinische Praxis. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Verbesserung der dermatologischen Versorgung in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern, insbesondere in Afrika, sowie auf der Unterstützung junger Ärztinnen, Ärzte und Forschender durch Fellowships und Auszeichnungen. Die Stiftung arbeitet sichtbar mit akademischen Dermatologie-Kliniken und internationalen Partnern zusammen und richtet sich eher an wissenschaftlich orientierte, kooperative Projekte als an breit angelegte allgemeine Gesundheitsförderung.

Giving Approach
Annual, deadline-driven funding with applications due by August 30; offers project grants, 3–12 month fellowships, and an annual scientific prize. Giving appears to be selective and program-specific, often supporting cooperative academic projects, training placements at German institutions, and recognition of early-career researchers rather than open-ended general operating support.
