About Christof-Husen-Stiftung
Christof-Husen-Stiftung supports children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 25 with physical, intellectual, or mental disabilities, with a clear emphasis on enabling self-determination, development, and participation in everyday life. Its grants are highly practical and needs-based, funding both individual case assistance and project support such as assistive devices, therapy, mobility, inclusive recreation, and facility improvements. The grantee mix suggests a strong regional focus in northern Germany and a preference for disability service organizations, schools, sports clubs, and family support groups that create direct, tangible benefits for young people.

Giving Approach
Needs-based, regional grantmaking with a mix of individual assistance and project funding; likely small-to-moderate grants awarded as one-off or program-specific support rather than open-ended operating support.
How to approach this funder
Focus proposals on concrete needs for children and young adults up to age 25 with disabilities, and clearly explain the direct benefit for self-determination and participation. Priority appears to be in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, so applicants in those regions are strongest. Emphasize specific items or activities funded, such as equipment, therapy, transportation, inclusion projects, or school-based supports; check the foundation website for the current application process and any deadlines.
