Individual Case Assistance of the Citizens' Foundation of the Ravensburg District

The individual case assistance of the Citizens' Foundation of the Ravensburg District offers an uncomplicated grant funding for people in Baden-Württemberg who have fallen into financial or social hardship due to accidents, illnesses, or other distressing life situations. Public institution operators and non-profit organizations can submit applications in the field of work & social affairs, provided that the support is granted through recognized counseling centers. The funding program aims to bridge individual bottlenecks and specifically relieve disadvantaged persons in special life situations. A network of regional partners such as the Diaconal Work Upper Swabia-Allgäu-Lake Constance, Caritas Lake Constance-Upper Swabia, and other social institutions is established, acting as intermediaries between those seeking advice and the Citizens' Foundation.

Applications for individual case assistance can be submitted continuously and at any time via email or post. Essential funding requirements include a fully completed funding application, a counseling report from the recognized center, and documentation proving the social urgency. The evaluation is primarily based on the urgency of the individual case and the recommendation of the counseling institution. The board of the Citizens' Foundation decides monthly based on the recommendation of the project committee. This enables prompt approval and rapid provision of funds to quickly alleviate acute emergencies. Through this continuous funding opportunity, the individual case assistance ensures low-threshold access for all persons affected by social hardship and promotes sustainable help for self-help.
