We award small grants to initiatives or groups in social movements, because we want to support social-ecological change at the base.
Focus of our work (as of 2025)
The greatest danger for climate and social justice is the increasing power of right-wing political forces over social discourse and their growing influence in parliaments and on governments. Therefore, our work is currently focused on projects and initiatives that help to stop the shift to the right and strengthen progressive political positions in the public sphere. From our perspective, this includes groups, organizations and initiatives working in the areas of community organizing, capacity building, public relations and building cross-movement alliances.
It is also clear to us that especially (multiple) marginalized groups can be most affected. Therefore, the focus on anti-racist work is particularly important to us.
What grants can you apply for as a group?
Does your initiative need financial support to pay for printing costs, workshop fees, travel costs or similar needs? We can support you as quickly and unbureaucratically as possible with grants of up to €1,500 or €5,000 if you meet our formal criteria.
We support groups that…
- are broadly committed to climate justice.
- are self-organized. We do not support individuals, foundations, political parties, government-related or profit-oriented organizations.
- pursue charitable goals in line with our statutes.
- follow democratic working methods and decision-making procedures.
- are mainly active in Germany.
Write to us if you have questions or ideas but lack the funds to implement them: projekte [a] movement-hub.org
Whether and to what extent we can support your projects depends on our own financial resources and the current focus of our work.

Apply for a grant
As soon as all the information is available, we decide on the applications up to €1,500 in weekly team meetings. We usually decide on all applications between €1,500 and €5,000 at the beginning of the month. Due to the large number of incoming applications or because we still have questions for ruch, processing can sometimes take a little longer. Please be patient with us.
If you have any urgent questions or problems, you can also contact us by email at projekte [a] movement-hub.org.

Where can you apply for further funding?
Unfortunately, our financial resources are limited. To help you implement your ideas and projects, we recommend a small selection of foundations and donors that also offer financial support for social movements:
