Project Funding
The Amadeu Antonio Foundation provides financial support and guidance to initiatives across Germany that focus on youth work, schools, victim aid and protection, and community networking. It also backs projects that counter the rise of right-wing extremism. Beyond financial assistance, the Foundation’s key mission is to empower individuals and groups to strengthen their initiatives and deepen local connections.
The Foundation prioritizes small, local initiatives that often struggle to secure financial backing. These projects are driven by engaged young people and brave adults, who pursue their goals in very various ways: workshops, exhibitions, concerts, theater performances, street fairs, counter-protests,educational campaigns, research, and documentation – all inspired by civic courage, rational discourse, and a commitment to dignified remembrance.
What unites these diverse efforts is a shared commitment to defending democratic values and opposing right-wing extremism, racism, and antisemitism. Their goal is to change the social climate in their communities. They take action, and their projects make a meaningful difference in fostering positive change.

Support for the victims of right-wing violence
With the CURA Victims' Fund, the Amadeu Antonio Foundation supports the victims
of right-wing extremist, racist and anti-Semitic violence – swiftly and without a lot of red
tape. CURA helps victims:
- Pay for attorney fees and legal counseling after an attack.
- Find their way back into daily life, by providing compensation for property damage.
- Recover a sense of security, by paying moving costs or alarm-system installation fees.
- Cope with trauma, by paying the costs of psychological care and doctor visits that aren’t covered by health insurance.
