Stiftung Mercator is a private, independent and non-profit foundation that operates on the basis of scientific expertise and practical project experience. Since 1996, it has been committed to promoting a solidary and participatory society. To this end, it supports and develops projects that improve opportunities for participation and strengthen social cohesion.
Stiftung Mercator advocates for a capable and democratic Europe, a digital transformation of the state and society grounded in fundamental rights, and a resilient, socially balanced climate policy. These objectives can only be realized within a liberal democracy – one that Stiftung Mercator seeks to defend and strengthen, as expressed in its motto: #StandingUpForDemocracy.
Stiftung Mercator is active in Germany, Europe and worldwide. It maintains a strong connection to the Ruhr region – home to its founding family and the foundation’s headquarters.
