Grantmaking is one of GMF's core missions, and through this process, GMF supports a wide range of institutions and individuals working on transatlantic policy issues. GMF awards grants primarily through five major grantmaking programs -- Transatlantic Network Building, Transatlantic Policy Research, Academic Policy Research Conferences, Immigration and Integration Key Institutions, the Balkan Trust for Democracy, the Black Sea Trust, and GMF’s Economics program.
Transatlantic Network Building, Transatlantic Policy Research, and the Immigration and Integration Key Institutions are by invitation only.
Italian Institute for International Affairs Strategic Partnership
 The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with the Italian Institute for International Affairs (Istituto Affari Internazionali - IAI), Italy's major research center in the fields of international politics, security and economy. The partnership will leverage each institution's intellectual expertise, convening capabilities, and networks in Washington and across Europe focusing on southern Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean. This effort will focus on an enhanced program of research and analysis spanning key areas such as new actors in the Mediterranean, maritime security issues, and emerging opportunities and challenges for Euroatlantic cooperation.
Transatlantic Network Building
GMF remains committed to supporting a wide network of organizations that encourage dialogue and network building between Americans and Europeans. These grants will support ongoing lecture or seminar series, as well as recurrent small conferences targeting specific populations, with an emphasis on transatlantic issues.
Transatlantic Policy Research
These grants support think tanks and policy institutions conducting research that challenges and fosters policy debate through fieldwork, collaborative conferences, and/or publications. Proposals should be sustained in nature, motivated by a clear long-term agenda, and designed to have a positive impact on public policy development. Proposals should address key foreign policy issues and global challenges facing the transatlantic community.
Balkan Trust for Democracy
The Balkan Trust for Democracy (BTD) is a 10-year, $30-million grantmaking initiative that supports democracy, good governance, and Euroatlantic integration in Southeastern Europe. This award-winning public-private partnership was created in 2003 by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation
A public-private partnership modeled on the successful Balkan Trust for Democracy (BTD), the Black Sea Trust (BST) works in collaboration with a range of donors to provide grants to indigenous organizations working to foster and strengthen regional cooperation, civil society, and democratic foundations. BST will be operated as a 10-year initiative, though GMF remains open to considering a longer-term effort.
Economics
Through its grantmaking, GMF's Economics program supports a wide range of institutions and individuals working on various economic, trade, agriculture, and development issues.
