Funding of the Wirtschaftskreis Hohenschönhausen-Lichtenberg Foundation (Child and Youth Support)

The Wirtschaftskreis Hohenschönhausen-Lichtenberg Foundation supports non-profit organizations in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg that implement child and youth projects in the areas of socio-pedagogical, socio-psychological, and caregiving services. The aim is the financial support of initiatives that strengthen the upbringing of young people and promote their individual development. Funding is provided on a proportional basis and is specifically targeted at projects that sustainably contribute to the social participation and well-being of children and adolescents. As a non-profit institution, the Foundation complies with the requirements of Section 58 (1) of the German Fiscal Code and works closely with the association Kinderhaus Berlin-Mark Brandenburg e. V. as well as other non-profit organizations.

Funding applications can be submitted twice a year by April 30 and October 31. A prerequisite is that the activity is based in Lichtenberg with a socio-pedagogical, socio-psychological, or caregiving focus. Interested organizations submit the official form "Application for Funding" and provide information about the applicant, project purpose, funding period, and the requested funding amount. Upon receipt, the advisory board reviews the documents and makes recommendations to the board of directors, which makes funding decisions by no later than May 31 and November 30, respectively. Funded projects commit to using the funds according to the guidelines and to providing a final report on fund utilization. In this way, the Foundation sustainably contributes to the long-term strengthening of child and youth initiatives in the Lichtenberg district.
