Funding of the Bielefeld Red Cross Foundation

The Bielefeld Red Cross Foundation continuously supports the diverse social and charitable tasks of the German Red Cross in the North Rhine-Westphalia region. As a non-profit institution, it specifically promotes projects of the DRK District Association Bielefeld and its subsidiaries in the fields of social affairs, health, child and youth welfare, dementia care, disaster relief, as well as training and further education. Grants can be used, among other things, to equip daycare centers and outpatient supervised residential groups with urgently needed furnishings. Furthermore, recreational activities such as excursions for youth centers or special care services for people with dementia are financially supported. The foundation serves as a valuable complement to donations and sponsorships, enabling assistance where the original funds of the DRK are insufficient.

Funding is exclusively provided to non-profit organizations within the DRK District Association Bielefeld and its subsidiaries that can demonstrate activity within these structures. Eligible applications include all measures whose expenses are purpose-related – for example, for furniture, play materials, educational equipment, or travel costs for recreational activities. The open funding structure allows applications to be submitted at any time, enabling spontaneous project ideas and urgent needs to be realized quickly. Through this flexible funding, sustainable impulses are set for work with children, youth, and seniors, and the commitment of local institutions is strengthened. Interested organizations can obtain comprehensive information about the funding criteria and application procedures on the website of the Bielefeld Red Cross Foundation.
