About Franziska van Almsick Stiftung

The Franziska van Almsick Stiftung focuses very narrowly on children’s swimming competence in Germany, especially ensuring that every child can safely master at least one swimming stroke by the end of primary school. It primarily supports school swimming instruction, cooperative local swim projects, and the operational costs needed to make those programs run smoothly, often working with schools, municipalities, pool operators, and DLRG partners. This is a programmatic, implementation-oriented funder that appears to value practical delivery support, teaching assistance, and gap-filling in places where access to pools or organized swim instruction is limited.

Giving Approach

Program-based, Germany-wide support through a small number of swim education partnerships; grants can cover staffing, administration, and project delivery costs rather than only direct program activities. Funding appears to be relationship-driven and collaborative, with grant sizes ranging from small local support to substantial project-level commitments.
