Funding
Here you can see from which sources the financing of our association is composed. The two most important pillars are GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung and donations. In addition, we receive membership fees and project-related funding from time to time.
Donations for research funding since 2014
We use 100% of donations for Research funding. Thanks to the great commitment of individual NBIA families (see also Fundraising), our volume of donations has risen sharply in recent years, which, in view of the increasing number of NBIA variants is also urgently needed. The donations are mostly earmarked for the targeted promotion of research into an NBIA variant.

- 2020: 74.391 €
- 2019: 150.899 €

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all donors and the NBIA families who collected donations!
GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung for costs of association work since 2015
The basis for financing our self-help organization is formed by the lump-sum subsidies from the members of the "GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung Self-help at the federal level". With these annual grants we cover a large part of the costs for our daily association work, which would otherwise not be possible. In the last years received Hoffnungsbaum e.V. the following sums:
- 2021: 16.000 €
- 2020: 16.000 €
- 2019: 15.000 €
- 2018: 13.000 €
- 2017: 12.000 €
- 2016: 11.000 €
- 2015: 8.000 €
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the "GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung Selbsthilfe auf Bundesebene":
