The Halle Foundation aims to promote understanding, knowledge, and friendship between people in Germany, as seen in its European context, and those of the United States. 


The foundation provides support primarily through grantmaking initiatives and activities in education, culture, science, technology, language, scholarship, and international relations. In keeping with the founder’s preference, most U.S. grants are made to organizations and institutions operating within, or with some discernible connection to the State of Georgia.

The Halle Foundation:

Deadline: October 15, 2024


The Halle Foundation aims to promote understanding, knowledge, and friendship between people in Germany, as seen in its European context, and those of the United States. 
The foundation provides support primarily through grantmaking initiatives and activities in education, culture, science, technology, language, scholarship, and international relations. In keeping with the founder’s preference, most U.S. grants are made to organizations and institutions operating within, or with some discernible connection to, the State of Georgia. 


The foundation does not typically provide general operating support or fund new projects indefinitely. It also rarely supports projects for which it is the only funder, or which do not appear to have the potential to eventually become self-sustaining. The foundation aims to help organizations with strong leadership and a proven track record of success in exploiting new opportunities or meeting extraordinary needs that will further the missions of both the organization and the foundation.

To be eligible, applicants must be a publicly supported 501(c)(3) organization, or in the case of a German organization, the equivalent of a 501(c)(3) organization. Applicants must be:
 located in Georgia, or
 a non-Georgia organization located in the United States with a project that
exclusively serves beneficiaries in the state of Georgia (e.g., Georgia students or
teachers), or
 an organization located in Germany with a project that has a discernible
connection to Georgia.

Applications are considered exclusively by the Foundation’s governing board at its bi-annual regular meetings which are held in the summer and the winter each year. The next meeting of the board of trustees to take place in December of 2024. The deadline for consideration of applications for this next board meeting is October 15, 2024.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Halle Foundation website.
