Margarete-Kupka-Stiftung is a Germany-based private foundation that supports self-determined development in Africa through practical, on-the-ground projects rather than broad institutional funding. Its giving centers on education, health, clean water, energy access, and support for women, children, and orphans, with a clear emphasis on helping local communities build durable infrastructure and services. The foundation appears to work closely with trusted implementing partners and favors projects in Kenya and Togo that are concrete, community-based, and aligned with its statutes.
Invite-only project grants and donor top-up/matching support for mission-aligned initiatives; funding appears to be project-specific, practical, and tied to implementation partners rather than open calls. Grant sizes are not stated publicly, but the model suggests flexible supplemental funding for discrete projects in Africa.
This funder appears to be invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to succeed. Nonprofits should approach with a clearly defined project in Africa that fits the foundation’s statutes—especially education, health, water/energy, women, or children—and be ready to show local implementation capacity, specific outcomes, and how the project could benefit from matching or top-up funding.
