Description
The Otto and Lonny Bayer Foundation primarily supports needy individuals and families residing in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen, Berlin, as well as the eastern German federal states. The aim of the grants is sustainable assistance for self-help in meeting essential everyday needs. Eligible expenses include costs for medication and aids, rent and energy payments, as well as the assumption of health insurance debts. Charitable organizations may be supported subordinately, provided they implement social measures for the permanent improvement of living conditions. The selection of applications focuses on proof of financial need, a statement from a public or charitable institution, and the exhaustion of primary private and public benefits.

The procedure includes an informal application letter, a form for means testing with evidence of the financial situation, as well as a meaningful statement from a supporting entity. The foundation reviews applications based on geographic eligibility, compliance with funding guidelines according to § 53 AO, and the sustainability aspect of the requested assistance. The amount of the grant is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the urgency of the need as well as the available funds. The decisive factors for the decision are the complete documentation and confirmation of financial need by a third party.
