The Future Fund
"The Future Fund for Children and Young People is an initiative of the City of Aachen to provide unbureaucratic support to needy families and their children to enable social and cultural participation. Among other things, it is intended to pay for school books, school bags for first graders and school trips for children whose parents cannot afford the money, are not entitled to the education and participation package and/or have exhausted their existing entitlements.
Initial outfitting with baby clothes for young mothers/fathers or support for young people and young adults in need with furnishings (unless youth welfare or social assistance apply) are also covered by the Future Fund.
In addition, forward-looking projects are subsidized. Further information can be found here.
