Gertrud-und-Alexander-Böhlig-Stiftung supports scholarship, publishing, and academic events focused on the Christian Orient and related late antique religious history. Its giving is especially centered on research into gnosticism, Manichaeism, and the influence of Greek and Jewish culture in the eastern Roman Empire and successor states, primarily within the German-speaking academic world. The foundation tends to fund universities, institutes, and scholars working on dissertations, habilitations, publications, and lecture series rather than general nonprofit programs.
Small, highly specialized academic grants and awards, usually within the German-speaking region; supports publication costs, research fellowships, lecture events, and an occasional biennial prize. Funding appears program-based and niche, with modest honoraria and travel reimbursements rather than large open-ended grants.

Focus proposals on the Christian Orient, gnosticism, Manichaeism, or late antique eastern Roman history, and ensure the project is based at a university or institute in the German-speaking region. For lectures and publication support, align closely with the foundation’s mission and check whether the program is invitation-based or tied to specific calls, especially for the biennial Alexander-Böhlig-Preis.
