Needs-Based Project "Impulse"

The needs-oriented project “Impulse” of the Ehlerding Foundation in Hamburg continuously supports temporary initiatives, professional conferences, and events with the goal of providing new impulses for professionals, educators, and non-profit organizations in the child and youth sector. The program funds projects that particularly address the topics of nutrition, exercise, and relaxation, focusing on various age groups from 0 to 18 years. As a grant, the program primarily finances material costs and additionally offers non-monetary support in the form of training, networking, and professional exchange. Applications can be submitted informally at any time, provided that work with children is demonstrated. Both private individuals and non-profit organizations can apply for funding to realize their projects in terms of content and organization.

At the core of the funding approach are mutual exchange of experiences and the further education of professionals and educators. By financing conferences or workshops, a professional network is created that brings together experts from various disciplines. The aim is to make innovative approaches in child and youth services visible and to transfer them into practice in the long term. Organizations focusing on professional development and cooperation find tailored support here. The uncomplicated application procedure enables initiatives to respond flexibly to current challenges and to implement forward-looking projects quickly. Impulse thus sustainably promotes competence development and networking among all actors in the social, educational, and scientific fields.
