Funding of the Janusz Korczak Foundation for Social Youth Work

The Janusz Korczak Foundation for Social Youth Work supports smaller children’s and youth projects nationwide that advocate for socially disadvantaged young people. As a non-profit organization, it funds initiatives in the field of child and youth work that enable equal development opportunities in kindergarten, school, vocational training, and leisure time. The foundation grants project-related subsidies and provides advice on content-related and organizational issues. A special focus is placed on activities that strengthen participation, democratic coexistence, and social cohesion. Funding applications can be submitted on an ongoing basis, ensuring flexible planning and rapid implementation of social projects.

Non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public agencies, interest groups, or other associations that implement projects with a clear focus on disadvantaged children and youth are eligible for funding. A demonstrable social support focus and a practice-oriented concept to strengthen self-determination, participation, and life skills of the target group are prerequisites. The foundation does not require rigid deadlines but allows continuous application submission and quick approval of smaller initiatives. Project managers benefit from professional advice and financial support to implement sustainable and impactful offerings in the social and youth sector.
