Schoolchildren Fund (administered by the St. Paulus Children's Foundation)

The schoolchildren's fund managed by the St. Paulus Children's Foundation is aimed at needy schoolchildren residing in Buchholz (Lower Saxony) and offers uncomplicated grants for all school-related matters. Whether school supplies, sports and everyday clothing, class trips, school events, meals, or care services – the fund covers up to 100% of the incurred costs. Applications are usually processed within one week, with urgent cases receiving a decision within 24 hours. Through close cooperation with the city of Buchholz and private sponsorship contributions, a solid financial basis is available to provide prompt support and ensure equal opportunities in everyday education.

Funding is provided to private individuals whose children cannot fully meet their school obligations without financial assistance. Proof of need as well as submission of invoices or receipts for the requested project are required. An informal application with cost evidence can be submitted at any time – by mail, fax, or email to the foundation board. The decision is based on the urgency of the request and the child's need for support. With this funding instrument, the St. Paulus Children's Foundation makes a decisive contribution to ensuring that all girls and boys in Buchholz can participate equally in school activities and that no educational barriers arise due to financial constraints.
