Direct Assistance from the Leipzig Children's Foundation

Direct Assistance from the Leipzig Children's Foundation provides unbureaucratic and timely financial support to disadvantaged children and adolescents in Leipzig and the surrounding area. As an ongoing grant program, it covers exactly those expenses that are not covered by public authorities – from braces to school backpacks to holiday camps. Through close cooperation with social workers at schools, youth centers, and street outreach, the foundation targets the areas of most urgent need. Funding is granted on a case-by-case basis and is determined by the urgency of the individual request. After reviewing the application documents and proof of financial hardship, tailored support is provided to ensure that prompt assistance reaches exactly where it is needed.

Eligible applicants are private individuals in Saxony whose children and adolescents require supplementary support due to their life circumstances. A prerequisite for funding is proof of financial hardship as well as the exclusion of public benefits for the respective matter. Eligible costs include individual measures in the social, educational, and recreational fields. Applications can be submitted at any time: The Leipzig Children's Foundation continuously accepts documents and promptly reviews them based on the stated criteria. This ensures that disadvantaged families receive the necessary support without delay and that young people can gain new opportunities for participation.
