Deutsche Umweltstiftung is a German environmental foundation focused on practical conservation, environmental education, and public awareness-raising. It supports local, sustainability-oriented projects through its ecocrowd funding pool and also recognizes work that advances environmental protection through books, journalism, and public awards. The foundation appears especially interested in initiatives that combine activism, communication, and civic engagement to drive everyday environmental action.
Mix of monthly open funding through the ecocrowd grant pool and invite-only awards/prizes. Grants for projects appear to be relatively small-to-moderate, distributed on a rolling monthly basis, while the book, journalist, and hope awards function as recognition-based prizes rather than standard application grants.
For project funding, check the ecocrowd platform and apply on a rolling basis rather than waiting for a fixed annual deadline. German-based, sustainability-focused projects are the best fit, especially those tied to climate action, environmental education, or conservation; the awards appear to be invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to work for those programs.
