MEHR Aktion für Kinder und Jugend Stiftung focuses on improving the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in Hannover and the surrounding region through both reliable ongoing support and quick one-time help. Its grants tend to back local institutions and projects that strengthen child welfare, violence prevention, social skills, integration, and practical day-to-day support for families and youth. The grantee list suggests a strong preference for hands-on, community-based programs, including counseling and grief support, after-school and youth centers, school-based initiatives, and therapeutic services.
Offers two clear grant types: longer-term basis support for institutions that need planning security, and short-term impulse grants for one-off actions or start-up needs. Giving is locally concentrated in Hannover and the Region Hannover, with support appearing to be practical, relationship-based, and tailored to local project needs rather than large competitive awards.

Prioritize locally rooted projects that directly benefit children and youth in Hannover/Region Hannover, especially those with clear practical outcomes in protection, prevention, integration, or care. Emphasize whether you need ongoing institutional support or a one-time launch/implementation grant, and show how the project concretely improves the situation of disadvantaged young people. Given the foundation’s structure, local fit and direct child/youth impact are likely more important than broad, abstract program goals.
