About Heinz Sielmann Stiftung

Heinz Sielmann Stiftung supports practical, on-the-ground nature conservation in Germany, with a strong emphasis on protecting and restoring habitats, improving connectivity between biotopes, and safeguarding threatened species. It also backs innovation and research in conservation, and through its German Biodiversity Prize it highlights especially strong biodiversity projects that can serve as models for others. The foundation’s work reflects a blend of project funding and recognition/awards, all rooted in making nature more accessible, protected, and valued by the public.

Giving Approach

Offers project funding for conservation initiatives in Germany and periodically runs a call-based biodiversity prize; support appears program-specific rather than open-ended, with emphasis on strong, clearly defined nature conservation projects.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the foundation’s website for calls and application windows, especially for the Deutscher Biodiversitätspreis. Proposals should be tightly aligned to German biodiversity and conservation goals, clearly describe habitat/species impacts, and show how the project is innovative, replicable, or educational.
