Stiftung Wanderjugend supports creative, future-oriented projects that advance youth hiking and nature-based experiences, especially within the Deutsche Wanderjugend network. Its funding appears designed to help small, practical ideas get off the ground, with an emphasis on outdoor learning, youth group activities, and projects that strengthen the hiking movement in Germany. The foundation gives both very small quick-turnaround grants and larger annual project support, making it a flexible source for local and regional youth hiking initiatives.
Offers two grant tracks: small grants up to €200 with applications accepted year-round and decisions in about 4 weeks, plus standard project grants starting at €200 with an annual deadline of October 31. Funding is project-based and appears to flow primarily to Deutsche Wanderjugend units, regional associations, local groups, and related member organizations.

Apply through the appropriate Stiftung Wanderjugend process based on project size: small requests can be submitted any time, while larger requests must be filed by October 31. Proposals should clearly show how the project advances youth hiking, outdoor experience, or educational/recreational programming for youth groups, and eligibility appears to favor Deutsche Wanderjugend-affiliated organizations.
