The Berthold Leibinger Stiftung GmbH supports non-profit, charitable and church institutions and carries out its own funding projects with the aim of advancing innovative science, creating a rich cultural landscape and strengthening social commitment in society. This is done by promoting culture, science, the church and social issues.
Our not-for-profit activities
In our funding activities, we enter into cooperations by supporting selected institutions and facilities and being a reliable partner for them over several years. On the other hand, we advertise funding lines for which applications can be submitted. In addition, it is possible to approach us with projects that fit into our funding spectrum. With our own operational projects, such as the Berthold Leibinger Innovations- und Zukunftspreis or the Comic Book Prize, we are actively involved in the social and scientific development process.
“Why does one establish a foundation? There are many reasons, but the strongest motivation is certainly the desire to support and foster special matters of concern.”
