Grants and Funding from the Lebenshilfe Rhön-Grabfeld Foundation

The Lebenshilfe Rhön-Grabfeld Foundation continuously supports people with disabilities as well as their relatives in the Rhön-Grabfeld district when personal or public funds are insufficient. In Bavaria, a cross-institutional grant is provided, which is particularly applied in emergencies or difficult life situations. Eligible applicants include private individuals, public institutions, and non-profit organizations implementing projects in the areas of social affairs, health, housing & modernization, work & social services, as well as infrastructure & urban development. The focus is on targeted individual assistance such as the acquisition of aids for participation and financing of leisure activities, as well as investment cost subsidies for residential facilities or specialized therapy services and materials. The ongoing funding opportunity enables continuous support as soon as the urgency of the emergency and the specific financial need are convincingly demonstrated.

For a successful application, residence in the Rhön-Grabfeld district, proof of disability or kinship, and a comprehensible description of the emergency are required. Eligible expenses range from barrier-free construction measures to therapeutic support and inclusive leisure activities. Evaluation is based on the urgency of the situation and the detailed purpose of use. Submission requires a detailed description of the concern, cost estimates, and the corresponding proof of disability. There is no fixed deadline – applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for prompt assistance during critical life phases. Interested parties receive comprehensive support in drafting the application and benefit from a straightforward decision-making process.
