Individual Case Assistance / Support for Needy People (Heinrich Peters Foundation)

Since its founding in 1967, the Heinrich-Peters Foundation has supported needy individuals in Lower Saxony, with a particular focus on the Springe area. As part of a social network, the foundation works hand in hand with charitable and public counseling centers to alleviate acute distress such as poverty, serious illness, or neediness. Support is provided in the form of one-time or ongoing grants awarded to individually assessed cases. The proof of acute need and close supervision by recognized organizations are central to the selection process.

Eligible for funding are private individuals residing in Lower Saxony whose neediness is demonstrated by income verification, medical certificates, and other documents. Applications are submitted exclusively through recognized social counseling centers, which submit the complete application documents – application form, proof of neediness, and description of the emergency situation. There is no deadline, as applications can be submitted at any time. The decision depends on the severity of the existing emergency and the comprehensibility of the individual need. A thorough review of all documents ensures that assistance is used purposefully and responsibly, with priority given to public benefits. Interested parties can find all necessary information and forms at the respective counseling centers, which act as reliable partners of the foundation.
