Stiftung für Demokratie supports projects that strengthen open society and democratic participation, with a clear emphasis on civic engagement, political education, and fact-based information about current and historical issues of public importance. Its giving is especially youth-oriented: it recognizes initiatives led by or for young people and awards outstanding school research on Swiss history and politics. The discovered grantees suggest a strong preference for local and regional youth councils, participatory media projects, and community initiatives that build democratic skills and turnout among young people in Switzerland.
Primarily award-based and competition-driven giving through annual prizes, with modest cash awards for student research and recognition for youth-led civic projects. The process appears national, Switzerland-focused, and deadline-based rather than open-ended grantmaking, with selections made by a jury/award panel.

Watch the annual deadlines closely and apply through the prize submission process, not a general grant request. Strong applications will clearly show youth leadership (ages 15–25 for the citizen engagement prize), a concrete link to democratic participation or political education, and a Swiss national or local civic impact.
