About Herbert Funke-Stiftung

Herbert Funke-Stiftung supports projects that improve the lives of blind and visually impaired people, with a strong emphasis on practical assistance, health, research, and arts/culture. It combines direct aid for individuals in need—such as assistive devices and accessible computer workstations—with project grants to nonprofits working on inclusion, participation, and quality of life. The foundation appears to be highly mission-specific and likely favors clearly targeted, disability-focused proposals over broad social programs.

Giving Approach

Offers year-round applications for both individual assistance and nonprofit project grants; individual aid is usually decided within about 4 weeks, and project applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks before project start. Grants can run for up to 3 years for projects and appear to be purpose-specific rather than broadly unrestricted.

How to approach this funder

Apply anytime, but submit project proposals at least 4 weeks before the planned start date. Align requests tightly to the foundation’s core mission—blindness/visual impairment, assistive tools, inclusion, health, research, or arts/culture—and show exactly how the support will improve daily life or participation for visually impaired people.
