We Help! – Funding of the Biessenhofen Community Foundation

The Biessenhofen Citizens' Foundation awards financial grants at any time within the framework of its initiative "We Help!" to families and children who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own. Priority is given to life situations in which physical or mental impairments of a child severely burden everyday life. The foundation's goal is to improve the stability of the affected households through needs-based grants and to alleviate acute hardships. Applicants from the municipality of Biessenhofen can provide information on cases worthy of support at any time by contacting the foundation with a detailed description of the situation. Great importance is placed on a trustworthy recommendation from community-based institutions or private individuals to ensure targeted and effective allocation.

Eligibility for funding requires proof of residence in Biessenhofen as well as the hardship being through no fault of the applicant. The decision on a financial grant is made based on the urgency of the request, the extent of the impairment, and a trustworthy recommendation. Since applications can be submitted continuously, the Citizens' Foundation can respond flexibly and quickly to acute needs for assistance. Parents and guardians can make optimal use of the funding purpose by specifically outlining the special need—for example, for therapy or assistive device costs. Through its continuous funding practice, the foundation makes a valuable contribution to the social security of children and families in the Allgäu region and strengthens civic engagement in the community.
