Dachstiftung Diakonie is an internal, mission-driven German diaconal funder that primarily supports its own affiliated organizations and services in Niedersachsen, especially in Gifhorn and Hannover. Its giving centers on practical social welfare work—youth and elder care, homelessness support, vocational training, education, and low-threshold assistance for vulnerable people—along with a newer internal sustainability fund for climate and operational sustainability projects. The funding style appears strongly relationship-based and aligned with the Dachstiftung’s own network, with a mix of targeted program support, staff-initiated internal projects, and one-off relief efforts.
Primarily invite-only and internal to the Dachstiftung Diakonie network, with funds used to support affiliated companies, foundations, and staff-driven sustainability initiatives. Grants appear to be project-based and operationally practical rather than open-call philanthropy, ranging from emergency relief and service funding to education and capacity-building support.

Expect this funder to prioritize internal or invited proposals from organizations within the Dachstiftung Diakonie group; unsolicited applications are unlikely to be competitive. For the Nachhaltigkeitsfonds, align ideas with concrete operational sustainability outcomes such as emissions reduction, resource efficiency, or social/organizational sustainability, and route proposals through internal contacts or the named communications/spending teams.
