Support research for sustainable development!

Donors create the necessary scope for future-oriented projects

The challenges of our time - climate change, health crises or threatened freedoms - need quick answers, practical solutions and realistic implementation strategies. With your support, we promote research projects and technological developments that will make life easier for many people in the foreseeable future and have a global impact.

Every day, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institutes use their scientific excellence to develop solutions. Their creative drive goes far beyond contract research for industry and projects for the public sector. However, many a brilliant idea or promising development still lacks the necessary funding.

Private donations and commitments such as endowments and donations support our funding activities. They can help young ideas get off the ground, accelerate their market entry and promote promising follow-up financing.

We invite you to contribute your passion, creative drive and vision as a sponsor of the Fraunhofer Future Foundation.

Together we can help innovations achieve a breakthrough.

A wide range of options for your individual commitment

Specific concerns

Dedicated funds

When you set up a dedicated fund for a specific issue or issues, you decide what you want to focus on in providing support. Your funds are used only for issues you designate as being important to you.

Lasting impact

Endowment

Your endowment to the capital stock of the Fraunhofer Future Foundation safeguards the long-term funding of all or selected research fields. The capital is held in long-term investments, so your involvement can earn interest and make a difference.

Mobilize networks

Individual fundraising campaign

Share your enthusiasm for a research project with friends, family, or colleagues. A separate donation campaign marking an occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, or retirement can get projects that are important to you.

Direct influence

Donations

When you make a donation, you provide flexible, timely, and effective support for the operational funding activity of the Fraunhofer Future Foundation. This helps to close gaps in the research and move technologies of the future toward application.

Secure your legacy

Estate | bequest

Deciding to leave your estate or a bequest to the Fraunhofer Future Foundation is a way to shape values that last well beyond your own lifetime, for a future worth living in for generations to come.
