Funding of the Buschdorf Foundation (formerly Bürgerstiftung Buschdorf)

The Buschdorf Foundation provides permanent support to residents of Buschdorf (North Rhine-Westphalia) who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own, offering quick and unbureaucratic grants. The focus is on elderly care, youth welfare, and assistance for people with disabilities, as well as support for medically necessary treatments. Older adults, young people, and persons with disabilities receive help to secure their quality of life, while those in need can apply for financial resources to carry out necessary treatments. The foundation finances its work from capital income, donations, and contributions from the support association and operates exclusively for charitable purposes in the sense of benevolent causes.

A prerequisite for a grant is proof of residence in Buschdorf, an involuntary emergency situation, and proof of need. In awarding grants, particular attention is paid to the urgency of the individual case, the degree of need, and the medical necessity. A six-member volunteer board decides on applications and reports annually to the general assembly of the support association. Through this transparent structure, the foundation’s work ensures targeted support for those requiring immediate and unbureaucratic assistance.
