Project Funding from the World Childhood Foundation (Germany)

The project funding of the World Childhood Foundation (Germany) is aimed nationwide at non-profit organizations and public institutions that protect children and adolescents from sexualized violence and exploitation through innovative concepts. As a continuously open call, grants are awarded to implement prevention programs, care services, and research projects in the field of child protection. Project sponsors can submit a detailed project description by email at any time. Initiatives that optimize child-appropriate care for those affected, develop new prevention strategies, or advance scientific knowledge for the protection of children are supported. A prerequisite is an innovative project idea that makes a sustainable contribution to the safety and well-being of young people.

For non-profit and public actors from the social sector, youth work, or academia, this funding opportunity offers the chance to establish long-term effective structures in child protection. The Foundation supports projects that are located in the thematic areas of “prevention of sexualized violence,” “intervention and care for affected children,” and “child protection research.” Through the nationwide funding framework, regional pilot projects as well as transferable concepts for improved child-appropriate care can be realized. Interested project sponsors benefit from a straightforward application process and the expertise of experienced child protection specialists. The continuous funding strategy contributes to sustainably placing the issue of sexualized violence at the center of public and professional debate and establishing effective prevention and intervention services nationwide.
