Support for Needy Residents (St. John's Monastery)

The non-profit Kloster St. Johannis Foundation in Hamburg supports needy, single elderly women between the ages of 60 and 75 through a continuously available grant. The aim is to secure their livelihood as well as the maintenance of the living space in the listed ladies' convent. In the field of Social Affairs and Work & Social Affairs, the foundation supports private applicants who are in a financially constrained situation and depend on a permanent communal living arrangement.

Proof of financial need is required for funding, as well as proof of single status and the correct age between 60 and 75 years. A personal interview with the Domina concludes the selection process. Specifically funded are expenses for livelihood and the maintenance of the living space within the convent. Applications can be submitted at any time; the foundation promptly reviews the submitted documents and invites suitable candidates for an interview. Through this unbureaucratic structure, needy residents receive reliable support that enables a dignified life in a historic setting while simultaneously ensuring the continued existence of the convent.
