Description
The Unionhilfswerk Funding Foundation in Berlin supports non-profit organizations, public institutions, private individuals, interest groups, and associations in innovative project initiatives in the areas of health, social affairs, and work & social services. The focus is on hospice-palliative-geriatric care for very elderly people at the end of life as well as on the support of the dying, their relatives, and caregivers. In addition, recovery and rehabilitation measures for people with disabilities are funded – however, the purchase of disability-adapted vehicles is not supported. Funding is provided, for example, for qualification measures, travel and mobility costs, project-related material expenses, as well as recovery and rehabilitation expenses. A prerequisite is proof of co-financing by the applicants as well as a transparent presentation of the overall financing and its intended use.
Interested project sponsors must submit their application in writing six weeks before the start of the measures. The funding application includes the requested amount, a detailed description of the measure, a justification of the objectives, and an overview of the overall financing. Approval criteria, in addition to co-financing, are the content relevance to the foundation’s purpose and the comprehensibility of the financing plan. Through the continuous allocation of funds, initiatives can arise that accompany very elderly people with dignity and help people with disabilities enjoy restorative breaks. The foundation invites project managers to apply for funding with their concepts and thus contribute to improving the quality of life of those affected.
