Be KIND- donate to KIND

KIND is primarily funded through research grants awarded in tough competition with researchers across all fields.
“The funding for research in this area is disproportionately small compared to the scale of the challenges associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in society,” says Professor Sven Bölte, Director of KIND.

“There is an urgent need for change, and we put a lot of effort into being a strong voice for evidence-based solutions. Yet, there is very little funding for the work needed to spread knowledge throughout society. Innovative research projects also struggle to secure financial support.”

A donation to KIND makes a real difference.
“If KIND received more support through donations, we could dedicate more resources to sharing knowledge and launching important research and development projects right now,” says Sven Bölte.
