Aid to Associations

The Support Fund assists associations that contribute to the care, well-being, education, and diagnosis of persons with intellectual disabilities.

It targets projects with a long-term impact objective. It focuses in particular on the involvement of the project team, the support of parents or entourage of beneficiaries, the sustainability of sources of funding with regard to operating costs (subsidies or other sources), and the involvement of any co-funders of the project.

Aid is provided in the form of interest-free loans based on a dossier completed via the website and asubsequentvisitto the association.

The Support Fund fosters collaboration and communication between associations by means of networking or developing advocacy or joint projects.
