Georg Kraus Stiftung is a German foundation that funds small international development projects, with a clear emphasis on education as a pathway out of poverty for women, children, and youth. Its portfolio also shows interest in community-based support for people with disabilities, street children, and women’s empowerment, plus a smaller domestic program for school projects in Germany and initiatives that reduce loneliness among older people. The foundation appears to prefer practical, on-the-ground projects with measurable local impact rather than large institutional grants.
Primarily small, project-based grants for local implementation, often requiring an own contribution (co-funding). International development cooperation is the main program area, with separate support for school-related projects in Germany and an awards-style school prize; funding appears more programmatic than open-ended and is likely proposal-driven.
Apply with a concrete, locally anchored project proposal showing clear educational impact, target group, budget, and implementation plan; be prepared to include a co-financing share. Prioritize projects in development cooperation that benefit women, children, or youth, and check the foundation’s website for the separate school prize and any eligibility notes for Germany-based school projects.
