Rolf-Seiwert-Stiftung supports poor and disadvantaged people through practical, self-help oriented projects that build local capacity rather than one-time relief. Its funding emphasis appears to be on education and training, basic health and psychosocial support, and income-generating activities that help communities create their own livelihoods—often with a strong focus on women, children, and local self-help initiatives, especially in developing-country settings. The grantees suggest a preference for small, community-based projects with clear economic or social empowerment outcomes.
Appears to fund targeted, project-based grants to local or community organizations, often supporting pilot or capacity-building efforts rather than large institutional awards. Giving is aligned to specific initiatives such as income generation, training, and local self-help structures, with a practical emphasis on measurable self-reliance outcomes.
