Financial Support (Assistance Dog) from the ROSENGARTEN Foundation Together for Humans and Animals e.V.

The ROSENGARTEN Foundation Together for People and Animals e.V. supports people with physical or mental disabilities nationwide in the acquisition and training of an assistance dog. Within the framework of this lump-sum funding, a grant of up to €4,000 per project is awarded. The funding purpose aims to increase the participation and independence of the applicants in everyday life through professional training and care of the dog. Submissions are accepted continuously and are promptly processed by the foundation’s advisory board upon receipt. A prerequisite for consideration is proof of disability as well as a detailed project description explaining the planned assistance dog project. Eligible expenses include the acquisition and training of the assistance dog, provided they comply with the statutes and do not exceed the requested funding amount of €4,000.

Those interested in this support are primarily people with a diagnosed physical or mental disability who wish to enhance their social participation with a trained assistance dog. The application process is conducted in writing using the funding application form and requires, in addition to the project description, personal data (salutation, name, email, telephone). A decision is made after reviewing compliance with the statutes and consultation within the foundation’s advisory board. The foundation thus places an emphasis on sustainable self-help and contributes to ensuring that assistance dog teams can be comprehensively and professionally integrated into everyday life.
