START-Stiftung gGmbH focuses on educational equity for young people with migration background in Germany, using a mix of scholarships and structured talent-development programs rather than traditional open grantmaking. Its support combines mentoring, workshops, career orientation, and community-building to help participants move into higher education, vocational training, civic engagement, and tech pathways. The foundation appears especially interested in empowering motivated youth with strong potential, and its alumni network suggests an emphasis on leadership, social participation, and long-term personal development.
Primarily program-based support in Germany through annual application cycles; offers multi-year scholarship-style assistance and one-year intensive programs, mostly as in-kind educational services, mentoring, devices, and some financial support rather than large cash grants. Applications are time-bound and appear to be competitive, with June deadlines for START Career/START Coding and a February-to-mid-March application window for START Stipendium.
