The Flow Fund is a funding initiative that strengthens democratic participation and social cohesion in Eastern Germany. Instead of allocating funds through centralized decision-making, we place responsibility directly in the hands of young, local changemakers—the so-called Flow Funders. The fund is designed, financed, and implemented in cooperation with the Kinnings Foundation. You can find everything you need to know about FlowFund on this website:
In 2024, we launched the Flow Fund with a pilot cohort consisting of a small group of nine Flow Funders and grant funding totaling 225,000 euros. To illustrate the Flow Fund’s potential as a promising, participatory grant-making model and to inspire others, we have documented our findings and recommendations from the pilot cohort in an evaluation report. It is available for download (only in german language) here:
The latest evaluation report shows exactly how the Flow Fund strengthens civil society initiatives in Eastern Germany. The external evaluation summarizes the findings from the 2024/25 and 2025/26 funding rounds and provides insights for the further development of the funding model.
