Deutsche Wildtier Stiftung focuses on protecting wild animals and their habitats in Germany, with support centered on nature conservation projects, species protection, ecological research, and environmental education. Its visible grantmaking is highly mission-specific, especially through the Forschungspreis, which rewards research that advances wild animal conservation. Overall, this looks like a conservation funder that favors scientifically grounded work with direct relevance to wildlife and habitat protection.
Appears to make targeted, mission-aligned support through a research prize and likely selective conservation funding rather than open, broad grant programs. Publicly available details suggest an application or nomination process tied to specific program criteria, with awards oriented around research relevance rather than large unrestricted grants.
Review the Forschungspreis criteria closely and emphasize how your research directly supports wild animal conservation in Germany. Because program details are limited and the funder appears highly specialized, applicants should expect a selective process and should verify deadlines and eligibility on the foundation’s website before applying.
