Unternehmerstiftung für Chancengerechtigkeit (USC) gGmbH funds large-scale, systems-oriented work that improves equitable access to education, participation, and health for children and young people in Germany. It appears especially interested in established organizations and alliances that can prove impact, scale effective solutions, and reduce structural barriers tied to origin or income. The funder typically backs practical, high-leverage interventions with a strong implementation and policy or systems-change component rather than small pilot grants.
Substantial, multi-year strategic grants, often starting at €250,000 per year, with funding delivered through long-term partnership or mission-based alliances. Grants are geared toward established nonprofits and social enterprises that can scale proven models in Germany; this is more of a strategic partnership model than an open small-grants program.

Expect a strategic, likely selective process rather than open rolling applications, so align proposals tightly to the foundation’s mission themes and alliance-based approach.
