The Dahlke Foundation celebrates its third Anniversary

The Dahlke Foundation Turns 3 — And We Have a Lot to Celebrate!

Since end of 2022, the Dahlke Foundation has been supporting aging people with disabilities in the LebensOrten Berlin and in the LebensGemeinschaft Rohrlack-Vichel. Our mission: enabling them to live fulfilled, culturally integrated lives in the places they call home — for as long as possible.

💡 Real impact in real lives
Already in 2024, our work proved vital: after a resident suffered a serious fall, we were able to finance six months of external nursing support — allowing her to stay in her familiar environment instead of moving away.

🌱 More mobility, more therapy, more joy
Thanks to your support, we’ve made lasting improvements:

• Wheelchair-accessible floor trampolines in Rohrlack (2023) and Berlin (2025)
• Regular eurythmy sessions and therapeutic horse riding, co-financed long-term with izfb e.V.
• From 2026, we aim to develop even more targeted therapeutic use of trampolines with experienced partners.

🎶 Culture that connects
Our concerts — from the annual "castle concert" in Vichel to last year’s major anniversary event — bring residents, caregivers, neighbors, and guests together.
In 2026, people with disabilities will help record and publish these events online thanks to foundation-funded equipment.

💛 Why we need your support now
A major donation and a successful fundraising campaign in 2023 strengthened our foundation capital. Since then, we’ve been able to reliably support many small but impactful projects.

To continue this work — and to take on larger projects in the future — we need to grow our endowment capital. Donations that increase the foundation’s capital have the most long-lasting impact, because they generate stable income for long-term support.

👉 How you can help
You can donate via PayPal, credit card, or bank transfer through our website.
To strengthen the foundation capital, simply add the note: “To increase the foundation’s capital”.

Every contribution helps aging people with disabilities remain active, involved — and at home.

Thank you for your support!

And a heartfelt thank you to izfb e.V., whose partnership makes our work possible.
