Mehlhorn-Stiftung is a German education-focused foundation centered on creativity pedagogy, gifted education, and rigorous research in pedagogy, educational studies, and school-based learning. Its giving is unusually academic and prize-oriented: it supports scholarly publications, recognizes strong research practice, and awards young people in competitive STEM settings such as "Jugend forscht" and the Mathematikolympiade. The funder appears especially connected to Leipzig-area institutions and creative-education networks, with a strong emphasis on high-quality scientific work and talent development.
Primarily program-based and invitation-oriented support through publication subsidies, prizes, and awards rather than open, general operating grants. Grants appear to be small-to-moderate and targeted, with annual or recurring recognition programs and some support tied to specific partners or competitions.
For KREAplus, proposals are submitted on request and should fit the foundation’s themes of creativity pedagogy, educational research, or related publications. The LEGE-ARTIS-Preis and WIN-Preis are invite-only or nomination-based, so applicants should not expect an open grant application process; instead, align with their research, publication, or competition programs and monitor the foundation’s website and partner institutions for calls or award announcements.
