Pediatric Emergency Medicine (Funding by the Children’s Heart Foundation)

The KinderHerz Foundation supports nonprofit organizations, educational providers, and public institutions nationwide that implement projects in the field of pediatric emergency medicine. In particular, resuscitation initiatives, the equipping of schools and kindergartens with defibrillators, as well as simulation-based emergency training are the focus of support. The goal is to sustainably improve the care and training of children and adolescents in critical situations. Funding is provided in the form of grants for acquisitions such as defibrillators, the implementation of training measures, and the provision of material and in-kind costs.

Interested project sponsors may submit applications at any time, provided they can demonstrate their nonprofit status or public-law sponsorship. Required documents include a detailed project description, a cost plan or budget, proof of statutes or status, and the institution’s bank details. Selection is based on professional criteria such as relevance to pediatric emergency medicine, sustainability of training concepts, and cost-effectiveness of the proposed measures. Ongoing funding opportunities enable the continuous development of long-term training and equipment projects, thereby making an important contribution to the safety of young people in emergency situations.
