Stiftung "Betroffen" focuses on helping cancer patients and their families in the Vorpommern-Rügen region with both direct emergency aid and practical psychosocial support. In addition to a low-bureaucracy hardship fund for people facing financial distress because of cancer, the foundation also backs applied oncology research, especially innovations in tumor diagnostics and therapy with regional relevance. Its giving is distinctly local, patient-centered, and hands-on, often supporting projects that improve quality of life, education, and care infrastructure for those affected by cancer.
Provides small-to-moderate, targeted grants and direct assistance, including an unbureaucratic hardship fund and an annual research stipend. Funding appears regionally focused, responsive to local needs, and often supports specific projects or service expansions rather than broad institutional operating grants.
