Help for those in need
Christian Raasch, Managing Director of the LebensWerkGemeinschaft Berlin, wrote in June:
"We look back with gratitude on the last six months of our collaboration with the Dahlke Foundation.
After one of our residents with assistance needs was seriously injured by a fall at the end of last year, she is now much more dependent on assisstance than before.
Meeting the sudden increase in assistance requirements presented the carer team with enormous challenges. These could only be overcome by hiring a care service, which was financed by the Dahlke Foundation for six months.
As people living in special forms of support accommodation in Berlin are not entitled to care insurance benefits apart from a minimum flat rate of €260.00 per month, this quick and unbureaucratic financial support from the foundation was a key element in enabling us to keep the resident in her familiar surroundings.
This was not only a great relief for the carer team, but also gave us time to work out a permanent solution.
With this in mind, a big thank you once again from the LebensWerkGemeinschaft gGMbH Berlin."
We reached the goal of € 300,000 foundation capital - a huge thank you to all donors
We have made it!!!
Thanks to many very generous individual donations, two large donations and the doubling of each donation by the founder we have succeeded in increasing the foundation's capital to € 300,000. THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible! The proceeds were set aside to provide financial support for recovery in familiar surroundings in an emergency. More on this under "Projects" and previous News from September 18, 2023.
We are slowly approaching our donation target thanks to the generous donors!
Around Christmas 2023, further donors have been found to generously support the Dahlke Foundation in order to increase the foundation's capital. Pars pro toto we feature here Matthias Krapp, who with his ABATUS GmbH und CO KG has not only managed the foundation's assets very successfully so far, but has also been able to persuade others, in this case FondsKonzept AG, to support the foundation! Many, many thanks to ALL donors, your help ensures that the Dahlke Foundation can be really helpful!
Important milestone of 200,000 € foundation capital reached thanks to generous donations
As a completely unexpected surprise, a founder’s friend was so impressed by the concept of supporting the disabled people in the anthroposophical institutions in Rohrlack, Vichel and Berlin to live a fulfilled, socially and culturally integrated life in familiar surroundings also in old(er) age, that he increased the small foundation's capital by € 100,000.
This unexpected donation inspired the founder to launch a major fundraising campaign: each donation to increase the foundation's capital will be doubled (up to a total of €100,000). If this goal could be reached, the foundation would have a capital of more than € 300,000, which would allow to do a lot with the expected regular income.
By October 2023, the foundation's capital had marked the milestone of 200,000 €. We thank all donors for their contributions or collections on the occasion of birthdays/festivities, and hope that we will come even closer to our goal in 2024!
