Applications for funding will only be accepted during the application period from March 15th to April 15th.

Do you have an idea for an Israeli-German cooperation project? We support bilateral projects up to a maximum of 25,000 euros. We employ a multi-stage procedure for project funding applications: the online inquiry form is the first step. If your project meets our funding criteria and attracts our interest, we will invite you to submit a detailed funding application in the second stage of the procedure.

Funding applications can be submitted once a year, between March 15 and April 15. The project may not begin before July 1. The online inquiry form cannot be filled out or submitted at any other time.

Eligible for funding are costs for carrying out the bilateral project. This includes non-personnel costs, such as travel and transport costs, expenditures for food and lodging of participants, fees for services, organizational expenses or expenses for materials/equipment.

Your project must be thematically related to at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and fulfill the following three criteria:

1. Bilateralism

• The project is to be developed and implemented in dialogue between at least one Israeli and one German organization.
• Both organizations must be based in Germany and Israel respectively, be legal entities according to private or public law, and be able to ensure appropriate management capabilities and that the funding allocated has been used as intended for non-profit purposes.
• The program is carried out in equal parts in Germany and Israel, as far as possible.

2. Target Group

• The project is primarily carried out by trainees, students, professionals, executives and/or in civil society engaged people from Germany and Israel aged between 18 and 45.
• Diversity and gender equality are reflected in the composition of the participants.
• The participants are from as wide a range of different areas as possible.

3. Results

• The project leads to specific results.
• The result can be of use once the project is finished.
