Jugendstiftung Baden-Württemberg is a state-established foundation founded in 1982 and based in Stuttgart. Its remit spans youth work, civic education and project funding across the Land. The foundation operates the REspect Reporting Center, an EU-recognized trusted flagger tasked with routing allegedly illegal online content to platforms; this unit also collaborates on selected events, including the 2024 #StopHate conference marking the United Nations’ International Day for Combating Hate Speech. Jugendstiftung runs smaller media-literacy activities such as its 2021 seminar on current conspiracy myths and so-called fake news, though these projects disclose no separate funding streams. It further participates in EU-funded initiatives, notably a €58,635.14 contribution under the CERV program for the European Observatory of Online Hate – Forensics.

As a funder, the Baden‑Württemberg Youth Foundation supports around 140 youth‑led educational projects annually, aiming to fostering, volunteering, media literacy, peer learning, and regional youth activities through its own funding schemes and third‑party partnerships. In 2023, the Youth Foundation provided over €123,500 in funding to 55 projects. While grant amounts are not disclosed, the Youth Foundation has supported Berghof’s project #vrschwrng – an Interactive Toolkit Against Conspiracy Theories, as its logo appears on the donor roster for the project. The foundation also contributed a €424,562 award to the Network Against Online Hate and Disinformation.
