Jürgen Wirtgen Stiftung funds practical, locally rooted charitable projects in Germany, with a strong emphasis on helping people help themselves through education, youth support, housing stability, disability services, and health-related care. Its portfolio also shows targeted support for emergency relief and selected international child-focused projects, but the core pattern is regional social impact in and around Neustadt (Wied) and northern Rhineland-Palatinate. The foundation appears to favor tangible, project-based initiatives such as building renovations, program expansion, and direct service delivery rather than broad operating support.
Project-based grants and donations, typically for defined local initiatives; grant sizes vary widely by project, with examples from roughly €10,000 to €124,000 and cumulative distributions across many small-to-mid sized projects. Funding is primarily regional in Germany and appears to be awarded through a foundation program rather than a public competitive cycle, with an emphasis on concrete, measurable outcomes.

Focus proposals on clearly scoped, local projects in Germany—especially around youth, education, housing support, disability inclusion, or health care—and show how the project creates durable, practical impact and self-sufficiency. Because the foundation prioritizes regional initiatives and appears to fund defined projects rather than open-ended general support, applicants should present a specific budget, timeline, and measurable outcomes; check the foundation site for the current Förderprogramm process and eligibility details.
