Description
The funding initiative "Inclusion through Digitalization" by the Aktion Mensch Foundation supports nationwide supraregional model projects that actively involve people with disabilities as well as children, adolescents, and young adults up to 27 years of age from the outset in the development, testing, and implementation of digital participation concepts. Funding is provided exclusively to non-profit organizations based in Germany that pursue innovative approaches to creating comprehensive accessibility and whose impact can be scaled through cooperation. With a funding duration of up to 36 months and a maximum funding amount of up to €600,000 – at a funding rate of 90% of the directly and actually incurred costs – the program enables sustainable digitalization initiatives that generate social added value and strengthen inclusion nationwide.
Applications are submitted in two steps via the digital concept sketch system: after a positive pre-selection, either a planning phase of up to twelve months (grant up to €50,000) or directly a model project can be applied for. In addition to a substantive project description, impact steps with target indicators, cost and financing plans, as well as proof of non-profit status and, if applicable, statements from public funders must be submitted. Evaluation criteria particularly include the degree of innovation, scalability, level of accessibility, and continuous involvement of the target groups in all project phases. Applications can be submitted continuously, whereby projects already funded from other nationwide social lottery funds are excluded.
