Funding application

RECEIVE RELIABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

For many parents of families suffering from a rare disease, concerns about the health of their loved ones are not the only ones. A rare disease can also present a family with major financial challenges. This is because medical treatments, therapies, medication and aids are not always covered by health insurance or disability insurance. In these cases, the Förderverein für Kinder mit seltenen Krankheiten closes the financial gap that arises for the affected families. Affected families have the opportunity to submit an application for support. This is examined by an independent committee. If the decision is positive, the support association provides fast, uncomplicated and demonstrably beneficial help.

As an affected family, please adhere to the following rules:

Step 1

Read through the funding guidelines to find out whether your funding application meets our criteria for awarding financial support.

Step 2

Fill out the appropriate form carefully on the computer:

- Applications for support from affected children, their families and relatives

Step 3

Send us the following documents by e-mail to info@kmsk.ch:

- Funding application
- Tax statement
- Confirmation of illness from the responsible doctor
- Offer for the requested service (if available)
- Rejection of the assumption of costs by IV, health insurance or insurance company

Please do not send us your application by post, as various people have to check your documents and this is only possible electronically.

Step 4

We will inform you in writing about the decision on your funding application in due course. Please note that this may take some time. If an application is rejected, it may be rejected without justification.

If you have any questions about funding applications, Manuela Stier, Managing Director of KMSK, will be happy to help you by mail further.

The rules and criteria for awarding financial support set out in the funding guidelines and organizational regulations apply. The data submitted will be treated confidentially.
