Financial Support for Children with Disabilities (Andreas and Emilie Olmstedt Foundation)

The Andreas and Emilie Olmstedt Foundation grants uncomplicated subsidies in the Witten area for children with intellectual or physical disabilities up to the age of 18 and their families. The aim of the funding is to support therapies, necessary aids, and other measures when health insurance or other service providers do not cover costs or provide insufficient coverage. Applications can be submitted online at any time, enabling prompt financial assistance for physiotherapy and occupational therapy treatments, technical assistive devices, or special support programs. The foundation places great importance on considering individual needs and providing straightforward relief to families in challenging situations.

Private individuals residing in Witten can submit a funding application without specific deadlines, provided the conditions are met – a disabled child up to 18 years old and lack of or insufficient cost coverage by third parties. Since 1999, the foundation has been committed to sustainably improving the quality of life for affected families and promoting social participation. Thanks to ongoing funding availability, not only one-time purchases but also long-term projects can be realized. Interested parties receive comprehensive information on the application process directly via the Olmstedt Foundation’s online form.
