Jugendstiftung Morgensterne supports Catholic youth work in the Archdiocese of Cologne, with a clear emphasis on leisure, education, and project-based activities for children and young people. It appears to prioritize self-organized youth groups and church-linked youth associations, especially when they help financially disadvantaged participants take part in camps, excursions, and educational projects. The foundation is distinctive for combining small project grants with direct participation subsidies for holiday programs.
Small targeted grants through a formal application process; project funding is reviewed twice yearly with deadlines on March 1 and September 1, while holiday participation subsidies can be requested at any time. Awards are modest and practical, including up to 120 EUR per child or youth participant and partial support for volunteer leaders, with limits on the number of beneficiaries per measure.

Use the foundation’s application form and align proposals closely with Catholic youth work in the Cologne archdiocese. For project grants, plan around the two annual deadlines (March 1 and September 1); for Ferienfreizeiten subsidies, applications can be submitted anytime, but eligibility is limited to financially disadvantaged children/youth and approved youth associations, with caps on participant and leader support.
