Children and Youth Travel – Daniel Schnakenberg Foundation

The Daniel Schnakenberg Foundation offers an ongoing grant opportunity for children and adolescents from Bremen whose families have low incomes. The aim is to facilitate participation in organized holiday and recreational trips with a minimum duration of ten days. Funding is provided for trips offered by non-profit organizations such as church congregations, youth associations, scout groups, sports clubs, or youth work institutions. The grant covers up to 80% of the travel and total costs, but no more than €20 per day per child. Eligible are all minors residing in the city of Bremen up to the age of 17 – including foster children. Applications can be submitted at any time and are transferred directly to the organizer two weeks before the start of the trip to ensure smooth planning.

The following documents are required for the application: the completed form "Application for Grant Approval," a copy of the current income statement or Job Center notice, and in the case of self-employment, the income assessment notice from the penultimate year. Through this transparent funding structure, the foundation supports low-income families in enabling young people to experience unforgettable holidays with their peers. The measure promotes not only relaxation and community but also creates lasting memories and new friendships. Interested private individuals can find all necessary forms and further information directly from the Daniel Schnakenberg Foundation in Bremen.
