Support for the Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation Nuremberg

Since its founding, the Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation Nuremberg has supported professional and volunteer initiatives in the greater Nuremberg area dedicated to the accompaniment and care of the seriously ill and dying. Funding is provided to individuals as well as non-profit organizations, foundations, associations, and public institutions in Bavaria. The focus lies on the training and further education of hospice volunteers, the development of innovative projects to promote hospice values, network meetings, and special events. In addition, grants can be applied for the acquisition of aids, remedies, or medical devices, provided no other cost bearers cover these expenses. Funding is granted as an uncomplicated subsidy; applications can be submitted informally at any time. The foundation of support is the statutory objective of modern hospice work and the sustainable strengthening of social participation for the seriously ill and their relatives.

Eligible expenses include training costs for hospice volunteers, project and network activities, as well as costs for aids, remedies, and specialized nursing beds. Families facing unforeseen burdens can benefit from financial relief, as can institutions wishing to implement innovative concepts in palliative care. Required documentation includes a concise project description outlining the initial situation and a realistic budget plan. A prerequisite for funding is alignment with the foundation’s purpose. Through continuous funding practices, the foundation makes an important contribution to strengthening commitment to social cohesion and improving the quality of life for the dying and their loved ones.
