CSS Stiftungspreis 2026

CSS Foundation

The CSS Foundation supports people who find themselves in financial difficulties through no fault of their own as the result of illness or accident. It has also been promoting social projects related to health and accident insurance since 1987: for example, the Foundation Award recognises organisations that are committed to such programmes in society at large.

When might assistance be granted?

The CSS Foundation has a fund it can disburse in cases of hardship. This allows it to support individuals who find themselves in financial difficulty through no fault of their own as a result of illness, accident or maternity.

If you would like to apply for support, please complete the application for hardship assistance in full. Submit the application electronically, together with all the required documents.

Who receives the Foundation Award?

The Foundation regularly grants an award to organisations and individuals who are committed to social programmes within society. If you lead this kind of project, or would like to nominate one you know for the next Foundation Award, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please complete the proposal and send it to us by 15 September.
