Franziskus-Stiftung – Jugendwerk der Franziskaner supports projects that bring the Franciscan message to young people, especially through education, upbringing, and faith-based youth work. Its giving is closely tied to Franciscan institutions and regional Catholic communities in Germany, with recurring support for schools, youth services, retreats, cultural programs, and pastoral activities. The foundation also appears to back practical social support for children, teens, and vulnerable groups, particularly in and around Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Invite-only project funding, primarily for regional partners in Germany, with support for specific programs rather than open-ended institutional grants. Grants appear to range from small project awards to substantial multi-year support for key Franciscan educational institutions and affiliated youth programs.
This appears to be invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to succeed. Prospective partners should demonstrate a clear Franciscan or Catholic connection, serve children and young people, and show strong regional relevance to Nordrhein-Westfalen or existing Franciscan sites; tailored project proposals with a faith, education, or youth-service component will likely fit best.
