Funding of the Foundation "SOS Family – The Foundation of the Ritasisters, Würzburg"

The foundation "SOS Familie – The Foundation of the Ritasisters, Würzburg" continuously grants subsidies for privately managed projects and initiatives in the Bavaria region that serve spiritual-social family assistance. Eligible for funding are families and individual family members in challenging life situations, especially in crisis situations, as well as people with illnesses and their relatives. The focus is on family care, educational and counseling services, intergenerational meeting projects, as well as accompaniment and support during stressful phases. The foundation contributes to consolidating the founding mission of the Augustinians and publicly advocates for the concerns of families. Applications can be submitted at any time, provided the residence is in the Würzburg region and the project is assigned to the area of spiritual-social family assistance. Non-eligible expenses include vehicle purchases and construction measures.

With its commitment, the foundation aims to set sustainable impulses for social, cultural, and educational initiatives. In addition to classic counseling and care services, it supports religious courses, days of silence, retreats, as well as impulses for spiritual guidance. Intergenerational programs strengthen the interaction between young and old and promote social cohesion. Experts as well as volunteers are empowered through financial support to implement concrete aid offers locally and to accompany families in stressful phases with solidarity. This comprehensive funding portfolio makes an important contribution to securing social participation and preserving Christian values in the Würzburg region.
