Vogel Stiftung Dr. Eckernkamp is a Würzburg-based foundation that supports local public benefit projects in education, research, health care, and culture, with a clear emphasis on strengthening participation across generations in the Würzburg region. Its grantmaking is especially research-driven: it regularly funds University of Würzburg projects, endowed chairs, fellowships, and prize-based support for medical, technical, media, and digital innovation. The foundation also backs selected community and cultural initiatives, particularly when they have a strong regional impact or advance science communication, health, or youth development.
Primarily prize-based and invitation/aligned-program funding, with annual awards ranging roughly from €20,000 to €150,000 and occasional larger multi-year commitments such as endowed professorships. Support is concentrated in Würzburg and often tied to specific university programs, research themes, or partner institutions rather than open, general grantmaking.

Watch for annual calls and prize announcements tied to the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg and related local partners; several awards have fixed yearly cycles and modest-to-mid-sized budgets. Applicants should be based in or strongly connected to Würzburg and frame proposals around research transfer, medicine, technology, media, digital ethics, or intergenerational participation. For many grants, especially prizes and professorships, support appears to be nomination- or institution-driven rather than through an open unsolicited application portal.
