Description
Since its inception, the Bielefeld Refugee Fund of the Solidarity Foundation for Unemployment and Poverty, together with the City of Bielefeld, has been supporting unbureaucratic individual assistance as well as project funding for refugees in North Rhine-Westphalia. Acute needs are covered with up to €100 per person – for example, sports equipment, aids for health impairments, or tickets for family visits. In addition, the fund supports group offerings with grants of up to €2,000 to realize volunteer-led integration initiatives. The aim of this measure is to accompany people with a refugee background quickly and effectively in their new environment and to sustainably promote their social participation.
Funding applications can be submitted at any time by professionals from the city administration, welfare associations, or registered initiatives, as long as funds are available. Particular consideration is given to the urgency of the individual case, the contribution to integration, and the effectiveness of the offered group project. Recipients of funding can, for example, apply for jerseys for sports clubs, teaching materials for language training, or cultural events. An informal application using the official form is sufficient to ensure a prompt decision. In this way, the Bielefeld Refugee Fund guarantees rapid, needs-based solidarity assistance that effectively supports integration beyond statutory benefits.
