Funding of the Rainbow Land Children's and Youth Hospice Foundation

The Rainbowland Children’s and Youth Hospice Foundation supports nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and public agencies nationwide in initiatives that provide comprehensive relief to families with terminally ill children and adolescents. The focus lies on outpatient and inpatient care, bereavement support, as well as innovative cooperative projects that open new perspectives for those affected and their relatives. Through ongoing funding opportunities in the form of grants, the foundation enables concrete assistance programs and creates sustainable structures that improve the daily lives of families in challenging life situations. The evaluation is based on relevance to affected families, sustainability of impact, and the professional quality of the concepts.

Additionally, the foundation promotes scientific projects in pediatric oncology and pediatric palliative medicine to strengthen research and teaching in these critical fields. Interested initiatives and research institutions can submit applications continuously and have the opportunity to realize innovative studies, training programs, and interdisciplinary networks through financial support. The foundation’s work combines practical family services with scientific impetus, thereby making a significant contribution to closing care gaps and fostering long-term networking within the professional community. Projects that contribute evidence-based improvements to the quality of life of young people with life-limiting illnesses are given special consideration and are offered the opportunity to initiate sustainable change processes together with the foundation.
