Stiftung Humboldt-Universität is an institutional foundation that primarily supports Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin rather than the broader nonprofit sector. Its giving centers on strengthening the university’s mission through preservation of cultural heritage, advancement of research and teaching, and support for promising early-career scholars. It also backs select thematic student scholarships and project grants tied to high-impact academic work, including sustainability, global justice, field research, interdisciplinary initiatives, and science communication.
Selective, institution-focused grantmaking with two main channels: themed student scholarships through the Deutschlandstipendium framework and targeted project funding for Humboldt-Universität initiatives. Grants appear program-specific and likely by nomination or internal selection rather than open, broad calls; funding is typically modest to moderate and often tied to ongoing academic projects or scholarship support.

Prioritize alignment with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin’s strategic goals and submit only if your project is connected to the university. For scholarship opportunities, watch the Humboldt-Stipendium/Themenklasse announcements within the Deutschlandstipendium framework; for project funding, proposals should clearly show excellence, institutional relevance, and concrete outcomes in research, teaching, heritage, or science outreach.
