Stiftung Aktive Bürgerschaft focuses on strengthening civic engagement through citizen foundations, service-learning in schools, and community-based philanthropy in Germany, with some support for crisis response in Ukraine. Its giving is highly programmatic and practical: it backs schools running sozialgenial service-learning projects, supports local Bürgerstiftungen with capacity-building and project funding, and helps donors establish dedicated community funds. The foundation appears especially interested in democracy, social cohesion, and locally rooted initiatives that mobilize volunteers and strengthen civil society.
Mostly program-based, modest-to-mid-sized support through themed funds and partnerships; includes small monthly project awards (€250), regional school project grants, foundation support/capacity building, and donor-established funds under the foundation’s umbrella. Many opportunities are structured and may be routed through networks or partner institutions rather than open-ended general grantmaking.

Watch the monthly deadline for sozialgenial "Projekt des Monats" applications (by the 10th of each month), and expect school-based service-learning projects to be the best fit. For Bürgerstiftungen and local funds, engagement often appears network-based and regionally anchored, so applicants should emphasize civic participation, democracy, and community impact—and check whether access runs through local Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken or foundation partnerships.
