Senior Citizens Support of the Elisabeth Kleber Foundation

The Senior Citizens Support of the Elisabeth Kleber Foundation targets projects that enable an active life in old age in Hamburg. Initiatives aimed at preventing loneliness, increasing the mobility of older adults, and promoting intergenerational encounters are funded. Furthermore, the foundation supports information and advisory services that connect seniors with experts and strengthen participation in social cohesion. Non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, public institutions, and private individuals can submit applications continuously and receive financial grants to implement innovative concepts. The time-limited funding serves as seed financing for sustainable offerings within the Hamburg metropolitan area.

Eligible for funding are projects with a primary focus of activity or residence in Hamburg. To apply, a brief, concise application must be submitted, accompanied by a detailed project description. A transparent cost calculation showing the funding gap as well as information on the specific funding areas for which the grant is requested is mandatory. The Elisabeth Kleber Foundation continuously reviews incoming documents and informs applicants of the funding decision after evaluation. Through the targeted use of funds, seniors are to be actively integrated into community life, their mobility strengthened, and intergenerational meeting spaces created. This approach contributes in the long term to promoting social engagement and democratic coexistence by opening new perspectives for older people and preventing isolation.
