Funding by the Fritz Behrens Foundation

For decades, the Fritz Behrens Foundation has been committed to promoting sustainable projects in the fields of social affairs, health, children, and youth in Lower Saxony. The foundation targets non-profit organizations operating in regions where the welfare state often cannot provide the necessary support. By providing grants, projects anchored, for example, in patient care, child protection, or innovative scientific approaches are strengthened in the long term. With a special focus on disadvantaged groups and difficult life situations, the foundation creates conditions that go beyond short-term assistance.

The Fritz Behrens Foundation’s funding program is characterized by its sustainable orientation and targeted support of initiatives that close gaps in existing care. In particular, organizations caring for sick people, vulnerable children and youth, and their families find in this grant a valuable tool to expand their services. The foundation supports projects distinguished by innovative concepts and a long-term impact strategy. In addition to classical child and youth welfare, support in the fields of science and music also plays an important role, thereby involving diverse societal sectors.

Ongoing funding enables supported institutions to continuously develop their projects and adapt them to current challenges. The focus is not only on immediate assistance but on structured and sustainable project work that can also consider future developments. Targeted grants support, for example, approaches to expanding care and support services in crisis situations. The funding is aimed at all organizations headquartered in Lower Saxony that are dedicated to social engagement. Overall, the Fritz Behrens Foundation’s initiative contributes to sustainably improving social services and establishing innovative solutions that make a valuable long-term contribution to social cohesion.
