Friedrich Naumann Foundation

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (German: Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit) (FNF), is a German foundation for liberal politics, related to the Free Democratic Party and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Established in 1958 by Theodor Heuss, the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, it promotes individual freedom and classical liberalism.

It also has close links to Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP) and Liberal International (LI).

The foundation's activities in the field of civic education consist of seminars, conferences and publications aimed at promoting liberal values and principles.

The international political dialogue program provides a discussion forum for a wide range of liberal issues.

The selection is based on grades, letters of recommendation, leadership potential, community service, and a visible commitment to liberal values.
