Funding from the Anneliese Pohl Foundation (Psychosocial Support & Cancer Research)

The Anneliese Pohl Foundation supports free psychosocial counseling for individuals diagnosed with cancer as well as their relatives and accompanies them throughout all phases of the illness. With trained psychologists, social workers, and social pedagogues at the Anneliese Pohl Psychosocial Cancer Counseling Center in Marburg, the foundation offers a tailored support system that ranges from the initial diagnosis to possible relief measures. In parallel, the foundation is committed to research & innovation by financially supporting medical projects in the fight against cancer. Beyond direct interpersonal support, this combination of psychosocial assistance and research funding contributes to holistically empowering those affected and gaining new insights for the long-term improvement of oncological care.

Eligible for funding are non-profit organizations, public institutions, and educational establishments based in Hesse that operate psychosocial counseling services or conduct research projects in the field of cancer research. The funds are granted as subsidies and can be applied for continuously. Potential applicants benefit from a straightforward submission process without fixed deadlines and receive a prompt decision. The target group for psychosocial support comprises affected individuals and their relatives, while the research sector addresses scientists and medical institutions. Through the combination of both funding approaches, the Anneliese Pohl Foundation makes a sustainable contribution to improving the quality of life of cancer patients and advancing innovative treatment methods.
