Union-Stiftung is a private German foundation in Saarbrücken that supports civic and democratic education, European/international understanding, science and research, and arts and culture, grounded in a Christian view of humanity. Its giving appears especially focused on Saarland and cross-border projects in the wider Grande Région, with a clear preference for visible public-facing initiatives such as festivals, educational programs, and cultural events. It also makes smaller, targeted awards during specific campaigns, showing interest in quick-response support for artists and creative workers as well as practical civic initiatives.
Mix of open project grants and occasional short-term themed competitions; supports both larger cultural institutions and smaller local initiatives, with grant sizes ranging from small fixed awards (e.g., €1,000 prizes) to broader project funding. Funding is primarily program-based and regionally oriented toward Saarland and cross-border Great Region collaborations.
