How we work with our partners

We want the projects we sponsor to be impactful and sustainable. For that reason, we place a high value on trust and responsibility in working with our partners. When we partner with you, we aim to provide the best possible support in all phases of our cooperation, taking your needs into account. 
 
The Robert Bosch Stiftung uses a wide range of funding instruments to support initiatives in the areas of education, health and global issues. How we work together depends on the objectives and needs of each project. We drive issues forward ourselves, work bilaterally in partnerships or join strong alliances with other organizations.

Education

Health

Global Issues

In addition to concrete project funding, we  support the early stage development of ideas to solve complex social challenges through a process of open exchange. We also strengthen institutions, associations, organizations and projects in expanding their scope for action to make a sustainable impact. To this end, we offer funding support with flexibility and a focus on joint learning. 

Please note

Please understand that we unfortunately cannot process or respond to unsolicited funding requests that reach us outside of our calls for proposals. 

    Two Paths to receive Funding

    Our goal is to support effective and sustainable projects that align with the content-related funding objectives and strategy of our foundation. Therefore, there are two ways in which funding can be obtained from us: 

    1. Applying to Open Calls for Proposals

    We publish thematically defined calls for proposals. These calls are our invitation to you! They transparently outline the areas where we are currently seeking new partnerships and where the chances of success for funding are highest. 

    Here you can find current calls for proposals at a glance.

    2. Direct Contact Initiated by Us

    Additionally, we actively and specifically seek out organizations whose work and expertise particularly align with our strategic goals. We invest significant time and great care in identifying these potential partners. If we have identified an organization as a potential partner for a specific initiative, we will contact them directly. We then jointly develop the resulting funding with our partners. 

    Close Exchange with Robert Bosch Stiftung

    If you are invited by us to submit a detailed application, it will define the goals, target groups, and the anticipated impact of your initiative. We are happy to assist you in detailing your funding request.  The proposal forms the basis for approving a project grant . If your funding request is successful, we will enter into a support agreement that forms the basis of our cooperation. This contract includes the funding amount and funding period. We also agree on a financing plan and a plan for the disbursement of funds.
