Funding of the Foundation for the Promotion of the BLUE ELEPHANT CHILDREN'S HOMES in the Stormarn District

The Foundation for the Promotion of the CHILDREN'S HOMES BLUE ELEPHANT in the Stormarn district sustainably strengthens child and youth welfare in Schleswig-Holstein through regular grants from its foundation capital. Non-profit sponsors and operators of the CHILDREN'S HOMES BLUE ELEPHANT in the Stormarn district benefit from annual disbursements, which are specifically used for operating costs as well as project and program expenses. As a public institution or association with non-profit status, applicants may request funding at any time. The allocation of funds is based on clearly defined evaluation criteria: The earmarked use for the promotion of children and youth as well as the long-term continuity of the institution's activities are central to the decision.

Interested operators must be members of the German Child Protection Association Stormarn and submit their non-profit statutes or founding documents along with a current financial overview. Additionally, contact person and bank details are required for processing. The foundation continuously collects endowments and donations to further increase the capital and secure future disbursements. Through this strategy, not only is the current work in the children's homes supported, but also a solid foundation is created for future generations. The continuously funded projects and measures provide participants with a stable environment in which they are pedagogically guided, socially supported, and fostered in their development.
