Stiftung Hoffnung13 is a Germany-based foundation focused on giving children and young people affected by war, persecution, and crisis access to education through the arts, especially music, dance, theater, and visual art. Its grants consistently support psychosocial healing, cultural participation, instrument access, and structured artistic training for displaced or traumatized youth, often in conflict-affected regions such as Palestine/East Jerusalem, Iraq/Kurdistan, Ukraine, and nearby partner settings in Germany. The foundation also runs a dedicated scholarship program for young members of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, signaling a strong interest in advanced musical development for exceptionally talented war-affected youth.
Primarily selected project grants to partner institutions plus an invite-only scholarship stream; funding appears program-specific, relationship-driven, and likely awarded in annual or multi-year cycles rather than through open competition. Grants tend to support targeted arts education activities, workshops, camps, therapy-oriented programs, and equipment/instrument needs.

This appears to be largely invite-only and partnership-based, so unsolicited applications may have limited success. Organizations should demonstrate clear alignment with arts education for children in war or crisis settings, specify the artistic discipline and psychosocial benefit, and show trusted local implementation capacity; scholarship opportunities for YSOU members are reserved for the orchestra’s eligible musicians.
