Funding of the Steffen Lohrer Foundation

The Steffen Lohrer Foundation offers ongoing nationwide grants for projects and individuals in the field of complementary medicine and holistic healing methods. Financial support is provided to private individuals, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, companies, as well as foundations dedicated to education, counseling, training and further education, or scientific research in this area. Funding covers, for example, study and research costs, training and further education expenses, awareness-raising measures, and patient counseling. The foundation also provides charitable individual assistance and grants subsidies to those in need for treatment costs. Funding requirements include a project proposal in the field of alternative healing methods, a financing plan, proof of non-profit status for organizations or financial need for individual assistance, as well as a curriculum vitae or proof of qualifications. Evaluation criteria include alignment with the foundation’s purpose, the scientific quality of the methodology, and individual financial need.

The funding aims to strengthen the integration of natural healing methods into the healthcare system and to promote sustainable awareness of body, mind, and soul. Priority is given to projects focused on public information dissemination, patient counseling, cooperation between therapists and physicians, as well as ethical standards and qualification in complementary methods such as homeopathy, acupuncture, yoga, and meditation. Applications can be submitted at any time, enabling initiatives to be supported quickly and unbureaucratically in the realization of innovative concepts and the research of promising treatment methods. Interested stakeholders receive tailored support from the Steffen Lohrer Foundation to sustainably expand the contribution of alternative healing methods to health prevention and care.
