Stiftung "die schwelle" supports peace, justice, and nonviolent social change, with a strong emphasis on conflict transformation, human rights, and peace education. Its giving appears rooted in a values-driven network of partners and initiatives, including organizations working on civil society, legal support, and nonviolent action in Germany and internationally, with some connection to Bremen. A distinctive feature is its annual Bremer Friedenspreis, which recognizes individuals or initiatives demonstrating courageous peace work.
Small, occasional direct project grants tied closely to the foundation's mission and relationships, plus an annual peace prize with public recognition. Funding is likely invite- or relationship-based rather than open, large-scale grantmaking, and appears to favor mission-aligned initiatives with a clear peace and justice focus.

Expect limited, selective project funding rather than a broad open-call process. Applicants should clearly show direct alignment with peace, nonviolence, human rights, or social justice, and ideally demonstrate a relationship to the foundation, Bremen, or its partner networks; for the Friedenspreis, monitor the annual announcement and nomination process.
