Dr. Jürgen und Irmgard Ulderup Stiftung is a regionally focused German foundation that combines technical education with environmental stewardship in the Dümmer/Diepholz area. It strongly supports MINT and vocational-technical learning—from teacher networks and school technology projects to robotics in primary schools—while also backing applied research, scholarships, and selected nature conservation and landscape management initiatives. The foundation often works through local educational institutions and established partners, with a clear preference for practical, hands-on programs that build skills and benefit the regional community.
Primarily place-based, programmatic grantmaking in the Dümmer/Diepholz region, with a mix of open project funding and invite-only or partner-based support. Grants tend to fund equipment, materials, workshops, and operating support for established initiatives rather than one-off events, and some programs require prior teacher training or organizational partnership. The foundation appears to make recurring annual or ongoing commitments to key institutions and also supports selected scholarships and awards.

Use the foundation’s online application process for general project funding and make sure proposals clearly fit its technical education or conservation priorities in the Dümmer region. For school-based programs, highlight concrete needs such as equipment, materials, and teacher preparation; for robotics-related funding, note any required prior workshop participation. If your project is tied to a standing partner or regional institution, emphasize that relationship, since some support is invite-only or relationship-based.
