This foundation, housed within the Volksbund/Gedenken und Frieden context, supports projects that preserve the memory of war victims and strengthen peace education. Its giving is especially centered on the care and safeguarding of war graves and memorial sites, youth and school-based peace learning, and projects that develop contemporary remembrance culture through books, exhibitions, and commemorative initiatives. It tends to back organizations already active in memorial work, including Volksbund affiliates, youth encounter centers, schools, and regional partners on specific projects.
Project-based grants and co-funding, often supporting specific activities, sites, or publications rather than unrestricted operating support. It appears to fund recurring program partners and memorial-education initiatives across Germany, Europe, and internationally, with an emphasis on collaborative projects and established institutions.

Align proposals closely with the foundation’s three program lines: war graves preservation, peace education for youth/schools, or remembrance culture. Strong applications should be clearly project-specific, show educational or commemorative impact, and ideally involve partner institutions or sites already connected to memorial work; check the Stiftung Gedenken und Frieden / Volksbund website for current procedures and deadlines, as funding appears to be program-driven rather than open general-interest grantmaking.
