In light of the great hardship and major problems facing the people in the war zones of Ukraine, EKFS has made a funding budget available for emergency medical relief since the spring of 2022. Almost 7 million euros have been granted since the start of the conflict. An overview of the Ukraine projects funded can be found here.

In accordance with the purpose of the foundation, the money is used exclusively for medical projects in Ukraine. The funds are awarded on application and are available to non-profit organizations in Germany which have their own contacts and structures in Ukraine or neighboring countries.

There are no application deadlines. Applications may be submitted at any time.

For applications requesting funding between 30,000 euros and 100,000 euros, a brief project outline is required. For applications requesting funding between 100,000 euros and 330,000 euros, please refer to the guidelines for applying for larger funding amounts. 

When preparing your application, please refer to the EKFS templates at the bottom of the website under Downloads.

Before preparing an application, we recommend contacting the point of contact, Dr. Judith von Heusinger, by phone or email to clarify whether the planned project is covered by the EKFS foundation’s mission and is eligible for funding.
