Funding of the Lebenshilfe Düren Foundation

The ongoing allocation of funds by the Lebenshilfe Düren Foundation is aimed at non-profit organizations, public institutions, and committed private individuals in North Rhine-Westphalia, supporting projects for people with intellectual disabilities as well as adults with participation needs. A focus lies on the creation and maintenance of barrier-free housing options that enable self-determined living. Furthermore, the foundation supports educational, care, and recreational measures that contribute to social participation and personal development. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for flexible project planning and short-term implementation of innovative initiatives.

Projects are funded in the areas of social affairs, housing construction & modernization, education, work & social matters, infrastructure & urban development, as well as vocational training & continuing education. Funding is provided as a grant and is aligned with the specific objectives of the Lebenshilfe Düren Foundation. The long-term impact on the target group is paramount: funds are allocated to measures for care, accommodation, and leisure activities as well as to adult education offerings that holistically support people with participation needs. The foundation’s board members and advisory council review each submission with regard to effectiveness and compliance with the foundation’s purposes. In this way, the measure makes a sustainable contribution to inclusion and improves the quality of life of the beneficiaries.
