Palm-Stiftung is a German community-oriented foundation that backs projects strengthening a free, democratic society through tolerance, participation, and civic responsibility. Its giving is especially focused on young people, schools, and public debate, with support for student scholarships, school-based engagement awards, and an international prize for press and freedom of expression. The foundation appears to blend local/regional education and civic engagement support with a high-profile democracy and human-rights recognition program.
Small to moderate grants with a mix of annual local awards and recurring scholarships; some programs are invite-only, while the Deutschlandstipendium is administered through the University of Hohenheim’s application process. Flagship recognition is the biennial Johann-Philipp-Palm-Preis, which is invited/curated rather than open-application.
For student support, applicants should follow the University of Hohenheim’s Deutschlandstipendium process and deadlines rather than applying directly to the foundation. The press-freedom prize and school awards are invite-only or curated, so nonprofits should build relationships, monitor the biennial/every-year award cycle, and look for alignment with democracy, participation, and freedom of expression themes.
