ProFiliis – Stiftung zur Förderung von Kindern und Jugendlichen
About the funder
ProFiliis is a non-profit foundation established in 2008 and based in Dortmund, dedicated to the promotion of children and youth. It supports a wide range of projects in areas such as sports, leisure, music education, education, nutrition, and humanitarian aid. Geographically, the funding focus is on the Dortmund area and the adjacent Ruhr region; beyond this, ProFiliis implements larger initiatives in cooperation with established partner organizations in developing regions. With quarterly funding decisions and exceptional provisions for particularly urgent applications, the foundation supports measures that benefit a large number of young people and reduce their social, health-related, or economic disadvantages.

Target groups
The foundation targets initiatives, associations, and organizations that plan measures to improve the living conditions of children and adolescents or wish to expand existing projects. Priority is given to projects with strong volunteer involvement that address social, health, or economic disadvantages, enable the beneficiaries' own commitment, and make their impact measurable. In exceptional cases, ProFiliis also supports international flagship or pilot projects if children and adolescents from Dortmund are involved or local partners exist.
