Calls for Proposals: A Transparent Path to Funding

We publish topic-specific calls for proposals to clearly indicate the areas where we are currently seeking new partnerships or projects—and where there is a realistic chance of funding. This approach offers several benefits for your organization:

Planning Ahead: Our calls show exactly which areas we are focusing on and which priorities matter most to us.
Better Chances of Success: You can invest your valuable resources in applications with realistic funding prospects.
Equal Opportunity: All organizations receive the same information and application options.
Strong Preparation: Detailed documents help you develop project concepts that fit our priorities.

From the applications we receive, we select the most suitable project partners. These organizations are then invited to submit a full proposal—and we are happy to support you during this process if needed. The proposal summarizes objectives, target groups, and intended impact and forms the basis for funding approval. Once approved, we formalize the collaboration in a funding agreement, including grant amount, timeline, and financial plan.
As a partner organization, we aim to support you throughout every stage of the funding process.

Effectiveness and sustainability are at the heart of our funding approach. Our close collaboration is built on trust and shared responsibility. Across our funding areas, we use a wide range of instruments: depending on the goal, we may lead initiatives ourselves, work bilaterally through partnerships and project funding, or join strong alliances.

Please note

Thank you for your interest in the work of the Robert Bosch Stiftung. As we award funding exclusively through our open calls, we are unfortunately unable to review or respond individually to unsolicited funding requests or project proposals. We invite you to visit our website regularly to learn about current funding opportunities and find calls that may be a good fit for your work.

There are currently no calls for proposals.

Our Funding Areas

Together with our partners, we focus on healthcare, education and global issues. We pursue this work through our own institutions, by supporting partner-led projects and by developing funding programs in Germany, Europe, Ukraine, West Africa, and West Asia.

Health

We are committed to a resilient healthcare system that places people at its center.

We promote future-ready, patient-centered healthcare by bringing together care delivery, research, education, and support at the Bosch Health Campus.

Education

We are committed to equal opportunities in education so that every child has the chance to discover and develop their strengths.

We are committed to fostering resilient and adaptable preschools and schools across Germany. We develop innovative solutions and widely share this knowledge.

Global Issues

We empower people not only to cope with global crises, but also to help shape the future.

We believe in the ability of people, organizations, and societies to shape the future, even under difficult conditions. We support them in developing and implementing strategies to solve global issues.
