Franz-von-Sales-Stiftung (Bonifatiuswerk) supports Catholic life and outreach in diaspora regions, especially in Germany, Northern Europe, and Estonia. Its funding centers on children and youth pastoral work, evangelization and missionary initiatives, church and community infrastructure, and practical mobility solutions that help scattered parishes stay connected. It often backs smaller, mission-oriented projects as well as targeted capital grants for churches, kindergartens, schools, and community centers.
Primarily program-specific, rolling grants with no fixed annual deadlines for most streams; applications are typically submitted at least 6 weeks before project start. Support ranges from project co-financing and staffing to capital and transport subsidies, with some urgent cases handled on an expedited basis.
Apply through the relevant program stream and plan ahead: most applications must be complete at least 6 weeks before the project begins. Emphasize how the project strengthens Catholic presence in a diaspora area, serves children/youth or parish life, and show clear co-financing or practical need; vehicle grants and capital projects follow dedicated guidelines and should be matched to the specific program.
