Siebenbürgisch-Sächsische Stiftung focuses on preserving the cultural, religious, and historical heritage of the Siebenbürgen Saxon community, especially in Transylvania. Its giving strongly favors restoration of fortified churches and church complexes, documentation of local history through publications and archives, and support for students, young researchers, and artists connected to the community. It also provides some direct social assistance to vulnerable elderly or needy Siebenbürger Sachsen, making it distinctive as both a heritage and community-support funder.
Primarily project-based and program-specific funding, including restoration grants, publication support, scholarships, and a recurring endowed prize. Support appears to be a mix of direct grants and long-term, multi-project commitments, often tied to heritage institutions and community partners rather than open competitive calls.
