Description
The project funding of the Kartei der Not Foundation is aimed at non-profit social organizations nationwide that wish to effectively support people in involuntary distress with new initiatives. The focus is particularly on start-up financing and pilot projects to establish needs-based support services. Ongoing costs and personnel positions are generally not funded, so that the funds can be used specifically for innovative project measures. Through its statutory focus on social assistance, the Foundation promotes impact-oriented measures in areas such as poverty alleviation, crisis intervention, or psychosocial support.
The following requirements must be met for the application: non-profit status under German law, focus on people in involuntary distress, and a clear start-up or pilot project character. The statutory objectives, sustainability of the measure, and target group orientation are evaluated. The application must include a cover letter with the funding request, a detailed project description, a cost and financing plan, as well as the association’s statutes and tax exemption certificate. Awards are made on an ongoing basis, so applications can be submitted at any time. This funding opportunity enables organizations to quickly implement new support services in practice and achieve long-term effects for disadvantaged people.
