Support for the Community Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Studies and Profession

The Community Foundation for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Studies and Profession supports nonprofit organizations and registered associations nationwide that advance the equal participation of visually impaired and blind people in everyday life, studies, and work through innovative projects. Focus areas of support include early education, career-oriented training and further education measures, assistance for civilians with disabilities and war victims, as well as scientific research and innovation. Through targeted grant allocation, projects are strengthened that develop and implement barrier-free educational offerings, technological assistance systems, or inclusive study and workplace concepts. The foundation acts as a reliable partner for initiatives that create sustainable structures and promote social participation.

Applicants are primarily associations and nonprofit organizations that implement programs for students and young professionals with visual impairments. Applications can be submitted continuously and are handled straightforwardly without fixed deadlines. A prerequisite for funding is a clear focus on projects aimed at the integration of visually impaired individuals as well as recognition as a nonprofit organization or registered association. With the help of grants, inclusive learning platforms, mentoring programs, or research initiatives can be established that improve the daily lives and professional prospects of those affected in the long term. Interested organizations may submit their proposals at any time and thus make a significant contribution to equal opportunities.
