Funding of the Foundation The Whole Life

The Das ganze Leben Foundation provides nationwide financial support in the form of grants to non-profit organizations, public institutions, and foundations. It specifically promotes innovative and needs-based projects in elderly care and hospice services to sustainably enhance the quality of life, dignity, and joy of life for people in need of care. The focus is on a variety of measures, such as specialized dementia programs, relaxation and activation initiatives, as well as the furnishing or redesign of senior centers – ranging from quiet relaxation areas to the creation of wellness oases. The straightforward, ongoing application process also allows for the realization of short-term project ideas that make the daily lives of residents and hospice guests more humane and dignified.

Funding is primarily aimed at elderly care facilities, nursing homes, hospices, and senior centers that implement care concepts or wish to modernize their infrastructure. Grants can be used for the acquisition of therapy and care equipment, the expansion of therapy and care offerings, as well as structural modifications. Requirements include a clear project focus on elderly care or hospice work and the formal integration of the institution within the care sector. Since applications can be submitted at any time, the program allows for flexible responses to needs in health, social, and palliative care. Initiatives that promote community or focus on specific needs such as dementia, mobility, and mindfulness benefit from this targeted support.
