Deutsche Stiftung für Menschen mit Downsyndrom

The German Foundation for People with Down Syndrome is a legally capable, non-profit, and charitable foundation under civil law based in Mutlangen (registered office: Im Bracksiek 28a, 33611 Bielefeld). Since its establishment in 2005 (recognized as an independent foundation in 2008), it has supported children, adolescents, and adults with Down syndrome as well as their relatives in Germany. It assists financially disadvantaged families through grants for therapies (e.g., hippotherapy, speech therapy), educational materials, disability-accessible vehicles, and various projects in art, music, and sports. Funding is granted in an uncomplicated manner by the board upon submission of applications.

The German Foundation for People with Down Syndrome is committed to improving the quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Through financial support for necessary therapies, assistive devices, and inclusive projects, it aims to promote participation, self-confidence, and social integration, as well as to raise public awareness about Down syndrome.

The target group of the funding programs are people with Down syndrome of all ages (children, adolescents, adults) and their family members residing in Germany. Funding is provided to individuals and their relatives who require supportive therapies, assistive devices, inclusive projects in art, music, or sports, as well as disability-appropriate mobility due to limited financial resources.
