Description
The Manfred Sauer Foundation enables non-profit clinics and spinal cord injury centers throughout Germany to establish practice wheelchair courses through its funding program "Nix wie raus," which are precisely adapted to the respective topography. The goal is to sustainably strengthen the mobility and independence of people with spinal cord injuries or other mobility impairments using wheelchairs. From initial planning and construction measures to the procurement of materials, the foundation covers 100% of all project costs, thereby actively contributing to the improvement of participation and quality of life in everyday life. The wheelchair-accessible courses can be implemented indoors or outdoors to offer patients a variety of practice opportunities alongside therapeutic treatment.
Only non-profit clinics and specialized spinal cord injury centers that do not yet have a practice course facility and can prove their non-profit status are eligible to apply. In addition to a convincing project description and a detailed cost estimate, a verifiable presentation of regional demand is decisive for a positive evaluation. Particular emphasis is placed on the planned improvement of mobility, the suitability to local conditions, and the concrete demonstration of benefits for the respective institutions. Applications can be submitted continuously at any time, allowing institutions to respond flexibly to funding opportunities. The program is aimed at all non-profit institutions that wish to specifically expand their therapy and practice offerings and thereby sustainably improve the participation of wheelchair users in everyday life.
