Görlitz-Stiftung supports projects that advance a sustainable society, with a clear emphasis on education for sustainable development, scientific knowledge transfer, and practical initiatives in environment, energy, and social cohesion. Its giving appears strongly place-based in Koblenz and Rheinland-Pfalz, but with themes that are broader than one city: youth STEM and sustainability learning, climate/energy solutions, social inclusion, and transformative civic projects. The foundation also uses its own institute, ISSO, to convene events and amplify exemplary work, including an annual future prize that spotlights innovative people and projects.
Primarily project-based, locally anchored support with a mix of direct partnerships, operational backing, and showcase awards. Grants can range from small collaborative project support to larger one-time commitments, such as the €30,000 ISSO Future Prize; the foundation also appears to fund through its own institute and programmatic partnerships rather than a standard open grant cycle.

Watch for the annual ISSO Zukunftspreis call, expected to recur, and be prepared to submit a project that is already active and clearly demonstrates sustainability impact, innovation, and social value. Because much of the foundation’s support is locally rooted and partnership-driven, applicants should emphasize relevance to Koblenz/Rhineland-Palatinate, practical implementation, and opportunities for visibility or knowledge transfer.
