Stiftung Lebensraum Elbe funds projects that improve the ecological condition of the tidal Elbe and related Hamburg waterways through habitat restoration, biodiversity protection, and environmental education. Its support tends to go to established local conservation groups, public agencies, and educational partners working on riverbank naturalization, floodplain forest restoration, and programs that help schools, youth, and the public understand the Elbe estuary. The foundation also supports hands-on land and habitat measures, along with communication and knowledge-transfer projects that build long-term stewardship for the river landscape.
Project-based grants for third-party initiatives, often supporting local partners in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Funding appears to be selective and program-specific rather than open, with a mix of one-off project support and longer-term backing for recurring initiatives; some support also includes training, publications, and public engagement formats. Grant sizes are not stated in the available data.

Apply with a project proposal and the foundation’s application form from its media/library section; proposals should clearly fit the tidal-Elbe mission, emphasize measurable ecological benefits, and be grounded in the Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein estuary region. Partnerships with recognized local conservation or education organizations strengthen credibility, and projects combining habitat improvement with public education or knowledge transfer appear especially aligned.
