Rudolf Augstein Stiftung supports three tightly linked areas that reflect Rudolf Augstein’s legacy: critical, independent journalism; better life chances for disadvantaged children and young people; and artistic experimentation. Its funding is especially strong in Germany, with a visible emphasis on East Germany, youth with migration or flight backgrounds, and projects that build capacity, participation, and long-term pathways rather than one-off services. In journalism, it backs investigative work, newsroom innovation, cross-border collaboration, and training for emerging talent; in the arts, it favors experimental and interdisciplinary projects, mentorship, and residencies.

Mix of open-call project grants and invitation-based program support. Some programs accept applications continuously or with no fixed deadline, while others run on annual cycles; awards include small-to-midsize project funding and longer-term stipends (e.g., up to €1,000 per month for 24 months). Several programs are not open to unsolicited proposals and require applicants to apply through specific program channels.
Cómo acercarte a este financiador
Check each program carefully, because access differs: some accept rolling applications, while others are invite-only or have annual deadlines. For journalism and social projects, apply through the relevant program pages rather than sending general inquiries; for youth and arts programs, align proposals closely with participation, mentoring, experimentation, or infrastructure-building goals and emphasize the German or East German context when relevant.
