Funding Area Immediate Assistance

Emergency Aid Funding Area offers nationwide uncomplicated grants in the fields of disaster relief, migration, as well as labor & social affairs. Private individuals, non-profit organizations, and public institutions can submit applications continuously to provide rapid assistance in humanitarian emergencies. The program of the Dieter von Holtzbrinck Stiftung GmbH particularly supports projects such as accommodations for refugee children requiring medical care, emergency aid in crisis regions, and initiatives for the cultural support of those directly affected. Applications can be submitted at any time, ensuring prompt decisions and swift disbursement of funds.

The funding objective is to provide immediate support to people who have lost their homes, prospects, or livelihoods due to disasters or conflicts, enabling them to start anew. In addition to the accommodation and care of vulnerable groups, the program also promotes cultural and social projects in crisis situations to maintain psychosocial structures. Funding is especially relevant for initiatives that care for refugees, ill children and their families, or implement creative aid services under difficult conditions. The continuous availability of emergency aid creates flexible scope for action to respond quickly to new disasters and conflicts and to build sustainable, effective prospects in the long term.
