Funding of the Diakonie Hessen Foundation (Funding Request)

The Diakonie Hessen Foundation supports diaconal initiatives in Hessen, Nassau, and Kurhessen-Waldeck as soon as all public funding opportunities have been exhausted and financing gaps remain for people in need. Non-profit organizations and public institutions may submit funding requests at any time to achieve sustainable improvements in the living conditions of people in difficult life situations. The ongoing funding opportunity in the form of a grant is exclusively aimed at projects that correspond to the diaconal foundation purposes and whose impact is clearly visible within the Diakonie Hessen catchment area.

For an application, the completed application form for funding projects, a detailed project description, and a comprehensive cost and financing plan must be submitted. It is a prerequisite that all public funding has already been exhausted and that the project directly benefits people in need. The decision on the grant is made by the foundation’s committees after thorough review. Upon a positive decision, the grant amount will be disbursed—depending on the project scope, also in installments. After completion of the funded project, proof of use and a project report including a media review must be submitted. This transparent procedure ensures that the Diakonie Hessen Foundation deploys its resources precisely where additional support creates a tangible added value for disadvantaged people.
