Description
1) Objective
The Robert Bosch Foundation is one of the major German Foundations associated with a private company and has managed the philanthropic bequest of company founder Robert Bosch for over 50 years. Their international funding aims to support those projects that serve to facilitate conflict transformation in conflict (and post-conflict) societies in different regions. The Robert Bosch also pursues its aims in a nonpartisan and independent manner. Their projects and programs tackle social challenges in order to develop solutions and bring about change.
Their international program areas of support are: (1) health (mainly focused on Germany and the Bosch health campus); (2) education (including social development, pre-school and day care); and (3) global issues (promoting peace and stability to alleviate human suffering including climate change, democracy, migration, inequality and peace building).
2) Eligibility
Eligible to receive grant funding are non-profit organisations and institutions whose projects align with the Foundation’s aims.
3) Location
They fund projects in Africa, America, Asia, Europe (with a focus on Eastern and Southeastern Europe, Turkey, Russia, North Africa, United States, China, Japan, and India).
4) Budget
They have an annual grant budget of around €100,000,000: the main share goes to health (app. 60%) followed by global issues and education. Since its establishment in 1964, the Robert Bosch Stiftung has spent around €2,3 billion on its charitable work.
5) Application
The first step is to send an idea via the online portal. They will evaluate whether the idea aligns with their funding goals and strategy, and whether it meets certain statutory requirements, such as serving the common good. If they decide to pursue your idea, they will ask you to put together a funding proposal. In the proposal, you should define the goals, target groups and anticipated impact. You may also include a project outline. They are happy to assist you in detailing your idea and turning it into a project funding request. In addition they offer various calls for proposals during the year on their website for special funding schemes.
