About WEISSER RING Stiftung

WEISSER RING Stiftung focuses on improving the long-term situation of victims of crime in Germany, with a strong emphasis on victim protection, victim support services, and crime prevention. Its funding appears to bridge practical project work and research, especially studies that generate evidence for better victim assistance, treatment of victims in legal and media settings, and prevention approaches. The foundation is also connected to the broader WEISSER RING ecosystem, suggesting a practitioner-informed approach rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy.

Giving Approach

Primarily invite-only project funding for research and practice initiatives in Germany, complemented by a small annual scientific prize with publicly announced deadlines and modest award amounts.

How to approach this funder

Project funding is invite-only, so unsolicited proposals are unlikely to move forward unless you have an existing relationship or fit their stated victim-support priorities closely. For the Wissenschaftspreis "Opferschutz," monitor announcements for new deadlines and submit empirically grounded work on victimization, victim treatment in proceedings/media, or victim care.
