Stiftung Mercator

#WirstärkenDemokratie

Stiftung Mercator is committed to a united and peaceful Europe – including and above all at times when the right of peoples to self-determination and when human rights are being violated with great brutality.

Russia’s expansion of its war to cover all of Ukraine is a challenge to us all and an assault on democracy per se.
This puts the very foundation of our social coexistence at risk. Democracy is being attacked from many different sides. Inflation and the energy crisis are exacerbating the social divide, disinformation and loss of trust in politicians are fuelling an increased polarization in society, and extremist movements are becoming stronger – while over everything hangs the global threat posed by the climate crisis.
In view of the manifold crises at present, we as a European foundation stand up for democratic values with particular determination. We promote understanding between people of different cultures and we are committed to social cohesion. In short: We stand up for democracy –

Robert Bosch Stiftung

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.
 
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.
