Stiftung Kartei der Not is a regional, fast-response grantmaker focused on helping people in unearned hardship in Bayerisch-Schwaben and nearby districts. It mainly supports local social organizations, schools, daycare centers, and care facilities with emergency aid, new social projects, youth leisure/sports opportunities, and Christmas assistance for vulnerable groups. The foundation is distinctive for its very practical, unbureaucratic approach and its long-standing link to local media and community welfare partners.
Primarily regional, purpose-specific grants and direct relief payments delivered quickly through partner institutions rather than broad open calls. Funding appears to be small-to-moderate, practical, and sometimes tied to one-off needs, new projects, or seasonal allocations such as Christmas assistance.
Focus your request on a concrete local need in the foundation’s service area and route it through a recognized social organization, school, daycare center, or care provider. Emphasize urgency, direct benefit to vulnerable people, and how the support will improve conditions quickly and sustainably; the foundation’s model suggests practical, documentation-based requests rather than open-ended concept proposals.
