Description

1) Objective

Founded in 1983 by the entrepreneur Else Kröner, the Foundation’s mission is to fund medical research and medical-humanitarian projects. Alongside direct medical assistance for patients and measures towards improving local medical infrastructure, the foundation equally supports initial and advanced medical training projects in developing countries. Medical capacity-building is promoted at all levels of the healthcare system. That’s how the foundation wants to achieve “help for self-help”, the capacity-building that contributes towards improving the local medical situation as sustainably as possible. They fund:

  • Direct medical assistance and improved healthcare: (1) improving in-patient and out-patient care, for example development or funding of treatment centres, introduction of new treatment methods; (2) development of prevention and information programmes, for example funding of regional health counselling centres or local networks of helpers and multipliers
  • Initial and advanced medical training: (1) direct medical training and professional advancement of skilled medical staff, for example health workers, midwives, nursing-care staff, clinical officers, medical-technical professions, students, physicians; (2) training of multipliers, for example by establishing teaching entities, by funding specific training programmes, or by improving instruction materials; (3) collection and analysis of medical data targeted exclusively towards a medical-humanitarian objective

2) Eligibility

The foundation’s applicants in the medical-humanitarian sector are public service healthcare facilities such as university hospitals, hospitals and charitable organisations and associations with a medical orientation that are based in Germany or other European countries.

3) Location

They fund developing countries worldwide.

4) Budget

The minimum funding amount is €50,000. Terms are possible up to 36 months. In the last 5 years, the average grant amount was 110,000 €/year and the average duration was 28.5 months.
