ODDO BHF Stiftung is a Frankfurt-based corporate foundation that supports long-term, mission-aligned projects in its home region, with a strong emphasis on social initiatives, culture, and applied research. Its giving often combines direct project funding with active program development or convening, especially for children, youth, and older adults, as well as German-French/European exchange and civic education. The foundation appears to favor partnerships with schools, universities, public agencies, and established nonprofits that can deliver durable, locally rooted programs.
Primarily project-based funding for nonprofits and public institutions in Frankfurt, the Rhine-Main area, and Germany, with a strong preference for long-term partnerships and programs rather than one-off grants. Support includes program development, event/venue support, and research collaborations; grant sizes are not publicly specified and the foundation may also run its own operative projects.

Focus proposals on a concrete project in the foundation’s priority areas, ideally with measurable local impact in Frankfurt/Rhine-Main or a clear Germany-France/Europe dimension. Strong applications should show institutional partners, implementation capacity, and long-term benefit; because the foundation also runs operative projects, initial outreach to the foundation team may be more useful than a broad open-call approach.
