Monika-Trefzger-Merdes-Stiftung appears to fund through the Catholic Foundation network of the Archdiocese of Freiburg, supporting projects that connect faith, culture, and social participation. The grantees suggest a strong interest in church preservation and liturgical assets, Catholic cultural programming, theological formation, and practical social work, including support for vulnerable women, migrants, and families. It also backs selected international church-linked humanitarian aid projects within the wider Catholic mission context.
Grantmaking is program-based and likely largely invite-based or relationship-driven through the Archdiocese of Freiburg foundation network, with support for specific projects rather than unrestricted funding. Grants appear to range from event and project support to capital/renovation funding and occasional international relief contributions, typically for Catholic-affiliated organizations and initiatives.
Align proposals closely with Catholic mission priorities in the Archdiocese of Freiburg and make the faith, cultural, or social participation benefit explicit. Strong applications should be project-specific, show clear local church or diocesan relevance, and, for building or arts projects, include concrete budgets, partners, and preservation or audience-impact goals. For international aid, emphasize direct church-network delivery and clear humanitarian need.
