About Ingeborg und Heinz Sauermann Stiftung

Ingeborg und Heinz Sauermann Stiftung is a Hamburg-based donor-advised/treuhand foundation linked to Hamburger Volksbank that primarily supports empirical and experimental research in economics, as well as vocational and higher education in the economic sciences, with a regional emphasis on the Hamburg metropolitan area. Its broader platform also backs local civic, environmental, cultural, sports, and youth initiatives through the parent foundation and co-funding/crowdfunding programs. Overall, it appears to favor practical, place-based projects with clear community benefit, often delivered through partnerships or affiliated initiatives rather than open competitive grantmaking.
