In guter Gesellschaft – Stiftung für zeitgemäßes Unternehmertum supports a modern, values-driven form of entrepreneurship that creates positive social impact, with a strong emphasis on personal development, peer learning, and practical business support. Its giving is especially aimed at women entrepreneurs, next-generation business successors, founders, and leaders in SMEs and NGOs in Germany. The foundation stands out for combining research and publications with hands-on formats like mentoring, coaching, workshops, and networking rather than making traditional cash grants.
Primarily non-cash program support delivered through subsidized participation in structured fellowships, cohorts, and coaching engagements. Support is usually Germany-based, sometimes application-based with set deadlines, and sometimes available year-round by contacting the foundation for an individualized coaching arrangement.

For the Fellowship Coaching, initiate contact directly and expect an intake conversation to confirm fit and design the mentoring/coaching arrangement. Applicants should be prepared to show entrepreneurial ambition, a clear development need, and alignment with the foundation’s focus on positive-impact entrepreneurship.
