Support for the Vonovia Social Foundation – Assistance for Self-Help

The Vonovia Social Foundation supports nonprofit organizations, interest groups, and associations nationwide with the program "Help for Self-Help", which engage voluntarily within tenant communities. The funding primarily targets tenant initiatives such as youth centers, community meeting places, or senior clubs that organize voluntary and community-oriented care and support services for children, youth, seniors, and those in need of assistance. External providers may also receive grants, provided they offer comparable care or support services at the local level. As a continuously open funding opportunity, the program emphasizes sustainable commitment and thereby specifically strengthens social cohesion in residential neighborhoods and communities.

With this grant, the foundation aims to create an inspiring environment that recognizes volunteer work and encourages new initiatives. The funding objective is to strengthen self-help institutions that reduce barriers and enable intergenerational encounters. Funded projects contribute to establishing child- and senior-friendly meeting points, promoting intercultural exchange, and intensifying civic engagement locally. Interested associations and groups will find a reliable partner here, who increases the reach of their services through grants and thus sustainably supports children, youth, seniors, and those in need of assistance.
