Board of Trustees Funding of the Fliege Foundation

The advisory board funding of the Fliege Foundation supports people in need in Germany through an interfaith advisory board composed of clergy from various denominations. Advisory board members have access to funding of up to €30,000 over a period of three years. These funds are provided as a 100% grant to offer financial assistance in acute emergencies while simultaneously providing pastoral care. The focus is on individuals who have fallen through all social safety nets and whose immediate environment confirms their neediness. Funding is continuous and enables volunteers in local communities to implement directly effective small-scale emergency aid projects.

Eligible for funding are private individuals serving as members of the Fliege Foundation’s advisory board, as well as clergy working full-time or voluntarily in local communities. Funding is primarily granted for allocations to needy individuals and small projects that alleviate urgent distress. Individual donations outside the advisory board model are not eligible for funding. Evaluation is based on proof of local need, the quality of pastoral care, and the long-term effectiveness of the assistance provided. Applications must include evidence of proper use of funds and a report on charitable work in the respective area of operation. The structured allocation over three years creates a sustainable network that ensures comfort and material support within a closely knit community.
