Bürgerstiftung Lichtenberg is a community foundation focused on strengthening civic engagement and supporting local initiatives in Berlin-Lichtenberg. Its grants tend to back neighborhood-level projects in education, youth and senior engagement, culture, integration, and environmental education, often through practical, visible improvements like renovations, garden upgrades, events, and program delivery. It also appears to co-fund some targeted inclusion and infrastructure projects through the w!r-Fonds of Berliner Volksbank, especially for projects that help people arrive, connect, and participate in local community life.
Primarily small to mid-sized project grants for local organizations and initiatives in Berlin-Lichtenberg, with some funding delivered through a partner fund (w!r-Fonds). Giving appears to be ongoing and place-based rather than national or highly programmatic, and examples suggest modest awards such as around €1,000 for specific projects; some support is documented as event-based or via public award/check presentations rather than a formal open call.

Focus proposals on clear local benefit in Berlin-Lichtenberg and show how the project strengthens community participation, inclusion, youth development, or neighborhood infrastructure. If applying through the w!r-Fonds, emphasize integration, arrival/support services, and practical community-building outcomes; otherwise, keep requests project-specific and modest, with a concrete budget and visible local impact. Check the foundation’s website or local announcements for current funding windows, as the available data suggests place-based project support rather than a large centralized grant competition.
