The Ludwig-Erhard-Stiftung e.V. supports the principles of freedom in politics and business, with a strong emphasis on Germany’s Social Market Economy. It appears to fund civic education, economic literacy, research/publications, events, and talent development, with its current grantmaking focused on early economic education in kindergartens. This is a highly mission-driven, thematic funder rather than a broad-based grantmaker, and its work is centered on shaping understanding of economic concepts from an early age.
Small, program-specific grants with a narrow annual application window; current pilot funding supports up to five Kitas across Germany at about $1,000 each, suggesting limited, targeted support rather than open-ended grantmaking.
Monitor the annual deadline closely and apply by 31 October 2026 for the current pilot. The opportunity is limited to a small number of kindergarten sites nationwide, so proposals should clearly show how they will teach basic economic concepts in age-appropriate, hands-on ways and align with the foundation’s mission of promoting the Social Market Economy.
