Stiftung ZukunftSpenden is a small German foundation that funds hands-on climate, environmental, and nature conservation work, with a strong emphasis on education for children and young people. Its grants most often support school- and daycare-based programs such as forest education weeks, climate camps, and garden/"Acker" projects, while also backing select international projects tied to environmental education, food sovereignty, and support for communities affected by climate change. The foundation appears to favor practical, local partnerships and projects with clear educational impact, especially in Saxony and other parts of Germany.
Small-to-midsize project grants, typically decided quarterly by the board rather than through fixed public deadlines. Funding is usually program-specific and partner-driven, with grants ranging from a few hundred euros to the low tens of thousands, and preference for gemeinnützige organizations working in education, conservation, or international cooperation.
