Stiftung Deutsch-Israelisches Zukunftsforum supports bilateral German-Israeli civil society collaborations that strengthen democracy in both countries and connect to at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal. It appears to fund young professionals, students, and civic leaders ages 18–45, as well as early-career journalists and media experts through a separate fellowship focused on foreign and social policy topics. The foundation is distinctive for combining project grants, project-development meetings, and a targeted fellowship to build long-term German-Israeli exchange and collaboration.
Offers annual project grants through a fixed spring application window, year-round support for short project-development meetings, and a selective one-year fellowship. Support is generally program-specific, bilateral, and tied to travel, accommodation, materials, or research costs rather than unrestricted funding.
For project funding, apply during the annual window from March 15 to April 15, and make sure the project is a German-Israeli collaboration with a clear link to at least one SDG. Future Lab requests can be submitted year-round, while the Sylke-Tempel Fellowship is currently closed and does not accept unsolicited proposals.
