Stiftung Zirkus Giovanni / das Don Bosco Stiftungszentrum supports projects connected to the Salesianer Don Boscos and other initiatives that help disadvantaged children and young people thrive. Its giving is strongly aligned with youth development, especially practical education, care for street children and orphans, and pathways into vocational training and social services. The funder also appears to operate as a philanthropic hub for affiliated donor-advised or family foundations, so many grants are likely relationship-based and mission-aligned rather than broadly competitive.
Project-based funding with grant sizes varying by initiative; support is primarily directed to Don Bosco-related institutions and aligned youth-serving organizations in Germany and internationally. The structure suggests a mix of direct project grants and foundation stewardship services, with funding often shaped by donor/foundation relationships rather than an open public application process.
