Possehl-Stiftung is a place-based foundation focused overwhelmingly on Lübeck, supporting what it calls “alles Gute und Schöne” in the city: historic preservation, arts and culture, science, youth development, sports, and help for people in acute social need. Its grants tend to back institutions, associations, and city-shaping projects rather than one-off national philanthropy, with a mix of program grants, awards, project funding, and occasional support for equipment, facilities, and endowed academic posts. The foundation is especially distinctive for its strong civic orientation—funding both visible urban heritage and practical social services that strengthen local quality of life.
Primarily place-based, program-specific grants in Lübeck with a mix of open calls and targeted funding; supports nonprofits, cultural bodies, sports clubs, schools/universities, and social service organizations. Awards vary by program and can include project grants, institutional support, prizes, equipment funding, and occasional individual case assistance; some programs have explicit deadlines and advisory contacts.

Focus proposals on Lübeck-based impact and match them closely to one of the foundation’s named program areas. Contact the relevant staff advisor before applying, especially for arts/culture, science, sports, and youth programs; the sports talent program has a published deadline (01.06.2026), and many grants appear to be program-driven rather than open-ended unsolicited appeals.
