The miriam-stiftung supports Christian, social, diaconal, and mission-oriented projects, with a clear emphasis on helping people and groups in situations of hopelessness or social need. Its funding appears to favor small, practical start-up support for faith-based social initiatives, as well as recognition awards for inclusive music projects and arts-based community work in Germany. The foundation is distinctive for blending evangelical/diaconal aims with cultural inclusion, especially through its long-running InTakt prize and its support for youth, community activation, and overseas children’s projects.
Small-scale, program-specific grants and awards; includes startup funding for new Christian initiatives and a fixed annual prize of about $5,000 for inclusive music projects. Giving is selective and appears to be invitation- or nomination-based rather than an open, high-volume application process.

Focus proposals on concrete, faith-linked social or diaconal impact, or on inclusive music/community participation. For the InTakt prize, highlight inclusion, accessibility, and musical quality; for Faktor m, show how the project is a fresh Christian start-up with clear social or missionary benefit. Check whether applications are time-bound or nomination-based, as past giving suggests program-specific selection rather than open grants.
