Kölner Stiftung Merten supports integrative social projects in and around Cologne, with a clear emphasis on strengthening families, children and youth, education and upbringing, and improving inclusion for people who are sick, disabled, or elderly. Its grantmaking appears to favor local nonprofit and faith-linked social service organizations that work on integration, child care, violence prevention, and equal opportunity for disadvantaged groups. The foundation is distinctive for its strong place-based focus on the Cologne region and its broad social-cohesion mission rather than issue-specific advocacy.
Offers grants for integrative social projects, likely through a formal application process (Förderantrag). Giving appears to be program-based and locally targeted, with support for established nonprofits serving specific vulnerable populations in the Cologne area; grant sizes and frequency are not publicly detailed.
Apply through the foundation’s formal funding application process and tailor proposals to integrative, community-based projects in the Cologne area. Strong applications should clearly show benefits for families, children and youth, integration or inclusion outcomes, and support for people facing social, linguistic, disability, or age-related barriers.
