Stiftung kirchliche Kinder- und Jugendhilfe

The foundation "For Young People. Foundation for Church-related Child and Youth Welfare" is a non-profit foundation of the Catholic Youth Welfare of the Diocese of Regensburg, established in 2004 to support needy children, adolescents, families, and adults with disabilities in the diocese when public and church funds are insufficient. It specifically finances and subsidizes projects and individual assistance in the facilities, services, and counseling centers of the KJF, such as urgently needed therapy materials, participation in sports and educational programs, as well as emergency aid like the Ukraine Special Fund. Since its founding, the foundation has disbursed over €594,000 in aid and has a lasting impact by ensuring that every euro goes directly to those affected.

As a church-based charitable commitment, the foundation stands for lived Christian solidarity: "Bear one another's burdens" (Gal 6:2). It is dedicated to covering unmet needs in family support, youth welfare, and disability services, fostering potential, and specifically empowering people in distress. Its goal is to provide sustainable support, where donors and benefactors become partners who strengthen social cohesion and enable children, young people, and adults to live a dignified life.

The foundation is aimed at children, adolescents, and young adults as well as their families in the Diocese of Regensburg who find themselves in special life situations or need to overcome social and financial hardships. It also supports adults with disabilities who require specialized support services. Eligible for funding are individuals and projects within the institutions and services of the Catholic Youth Welfare of Regensburg, particularly in areas such as curative education, educational assistance, vocational rehabilitation, and outpatient youth services.
