Schmitz-Stiftungen – Project Grants (regular and small projects)
Who can apply: Projects should be locally conceived and target people living in poverty or particularly disadvantaged groups. Projects are expected to be clearly defined, time-limited (up to max. ~4 years), demonstrate beneficiary contribution/ownership, and aim for sustainable, self-sustaining outcomes. Individual persons, travel for internships/placements, disaster relief, and direct medical emergency aid are not supported. German non-profits are usually asked to apply to the EZ-Kleinprojektefonds for small projects (see separate program).
