The Margot Friedländer Stiftung supports the continuation of Holocaust remembrance and civic education in the spirit of Margot Friedländer’s life work, with a strong emphasis on tolerance, humanity, democracy, and resistance to antisemitism and racism. Its giving is especially geared toward schools, educators, youth-led projects, and organizations that translate remembrance work into practical educational formats such as workshops, peer learning, public storytelling, and accessible cultural programming. The foundation also recognizes individuals and public-facing initiatives that advance Holocaust education and democratic engagement in Germany, with some reach into Austria and Switzerland through its annual award program.
Primarily award-based and program-driven giving, centered on an annual prize of €25,000 and a fellows training program for educators and multipliers. Support appears to be mostly invitation- or application-based through annual calls, with a strong preference for visible, practical projects rather than open-ended institutional funding.

Watch for the annual open call for the Margot Friedländer Preis and, for the Fellows program, the summer announcement of the next cohort. Strong applications should clearly show impact in schools or communities, a direct contribution to Holocaust remembrance or antisemitism prevention, and a concrete format for teaching tolerance and democracy; eligible geographies are mainly Germany, with Austria and Switzerland included for the prize.
