Description
The Johannes and Elsbeth Gottwald Foundation supports needy individuals aged 50 and over, particularly visually impaired persons, with one-time or ongoing grants. The focus region is Berlin, where public and charitable institutions work closely together to recommend suitable applications. Support is provided exclusively as a grant and can cover expenses for personal needs, health services, home modernization, or the acquisition of household appliances. Furthermore, measures for maintaining social contacts and debt repayment, as well as a variety of charitable projects, are funded. Special emphasis is placed on activities in blind sports – from tandem bike tours to rollerball – and on training through the guide dog school to sustainably strengthen the independence of visually impaired individuals.
Residence or need within the Berlin area is a prerequisite for funding. Additionally, there must be no primary entitlement to benefits from public agencies. Applications are submitted informally via the responsible district office or a charitable organization and can be made at any time. Thanks to straightforward procedures, the foundation is able to provide financial assistance promptly and earn the trust of its target group. Individual case aid is intended not only to offer material support but also to boost morale and promote participation in social life. Interested persons submit their documents through intermediary agencies and benefit from a fast, uncomplicated review and disbursement of funds.
