Stiftung Kinder-Schirm is a Germany-based foundation focused on child and youth welfare in Brazil, especially São Paulo, with a strong emphasis on helping young people who cannot grow up in their families. It supports partner organizations and scholarship pathways that combine education, personal development, and vocational preparation, aiming to improve long-term life chances for vulnerable children and adolescents. The foundation appears especially interested in institutions that can provide stable care, school access, and practical career training.
Mixed giving model: general project grants to partner organizations plus an invite-only scholarship program (Umbrella Futura). Support appears relationship-based and program-specific, likely with recurring partnerships rather than open competitive grant rounds; grantees include schools, universities, and youth-serving organizations.
This is likely an invitation- or partnership-driven funder rather than an open application grantmaker. Organizations should align proposals tightly to child/youth welfare in Brazil (especially São Paulo), and clearly show how they support children and adolescents without family care through schooling, scholarships, vocational training, or holistic development.
