Funding by the Rita von Gaudecker Foundation

The Rita von Gaudecker Foundation provides nationwide support to individuals in need as well as to non-profit and public institutions in the fields of social affairs and work & social services. As a grant provider, it supports both those in need in Germany and Poland, and in exceptional cases, people of German descent abroad. The focus is on the efficient use of resources, whereby even small amounts can have a significant impact. Personal contact between applicants and the foundation’s board is a central element to ascertain actual need and ensure tailored support. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for flexible and unbureaucratic assistance.

Under Funding Requirements, proof of need or the social purpose of the aid is required, as well as direct communication with the foundation’s board. The continuous funding practice enables quick responses to specific emergency situations and intervention where social safety nets already have gaps. Especially social institutions that achieve significant social impact with limited resources find a reliable partner in the Rita von Gaudecker Foundation’s support. The steady provision of grants creates planning security and contributes to implementing sustainable aid projects that provide lasting support and empowerment to people.
