Institutional Funding (Dr. Georg Blinden Foundation)

The institutional funding provided by the Dr. Georg-Blinden Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and educational institutions nationwide that are engaged in self-help for the blind, operate schools for the blind, or are involved in associations for the blind. Grants are primarily awarded to projects aimed at the integration of blind youth and newly blind individuals. The steadily growing foundation possesses a broadly diversified capital base and promotes sustainable measures from its proceeds to dismantle barriers and significantly improve participation in everyday life, school, and work.

Only institutions that fulfill the nonprofit statutory purpose and are recognized as entities for self-help for the blind, schools for the blind, or associations for the blind are eligible for funding. A special focus is placed on innovative concepts for inclusive education, social integration, and the provision of suitable aids. Applications can be submitted at any time, as funding opportunities are ongoing. The Dr. Georg-Blinden Foundation places great importance on transparent allocation, ensured by statutory requirements and the nonprofit status of applicants. Interested institution sponsors receive comprehensive information on funding criteria and application procedures directly from the foundation.
