FörderFunke

FörderFunke is an organisation that untangles the maze of state support schemes for citizens and helps them receive the support they are entitled to. The state offers citizens many valuable services: Parental allowance, education vouchers and more. Unfortunately, many of the funds provided remain unutilised every year. The reason is often simple: those affected do not know that they are entitled to benefits or how to apply for them. Our application allows users to automatically validate their own profile against available benefits and informs them about existing entitlements. With our work, we want to contribute to the state and people once again facing each other as trusting partners. In doing so, we rely on the cooperation of state actors, organisations working for the common good and committed citizens.
