The Hans und Helga Eckensberger-Stiftung is a regional German foundation focused on supporting culture, education, training, and people in need in and around Braunschweig. Its giving strongly favors local, practical projects with visible community benefit—especially school enrichment, arts and music, museum and heritage projects, and social support for children, families, and older adults. It also runs a distinctive journalism prize for young reporters in partnership with the Funke media group, indicating an interest in media talent development alongside broader civic and cultural support.
Primarily local project grants in the Braunschweig region, often as one-time awards in the low- to mid-five-figure range; applications for general funding can be submitted year-round, while the journalism prize is invite-only and awarded on a roughly biennial cycle.

For general project support, submit an open application at any time and keep the project clearly tied to Braunschweig or the surrounding region. Strong proposals emphasize direct community benefit, culture/education/training outcomes, and a concrete budget; the young journalist prize is not open application-based and appears to be handled through invitation or partner selection.
