Dr. Gustav Bauckloh Stiftung is a Dortmund-based foundation dedicated to nature conservation and animal welfare, with a strong regional emphasis on projects in Dortmund and North Rhine-Westphalia. It appears especially interested in hands-on environmental education for children and youth, local biodiversity, and practical protection or care for animals and habitats. A notable feature of its giving is its use of annual prize and school-competition formats alongside larger direct project grants for established nonprofits and institutions.
Mix of annual competitive awards and direct project grants. Small school grants are typically up to €750 per project, environmental prizes range around €3,000–€6,000, and larger project grants can reach five figures; funding is often regional, Dortmund-focused, and appears to involve both application-based and jury/prize selection processes.
Watch the annual deadlines closely: school environmental projects typically close around September 30, while the Dortmund Environmental Prize applications are usually due by January 15. Prioritize projects with clear local impact in Dortmund/NRW, a strong nature- or animal-conservation component, and measurable educational value for children or youth.
