Funding process - How to apply for funding for your project.

Hear the World Foundation, together with its partners, is committed to equal opportunities and increased quality of life for children with hearing loss in low- and middle-income countries.

If your organization is committed to the same goals and values as our foundation, you can apply for support in the form of financial resources, hearing solutions from the Sonova product portfolio (hearing aids, cochlear implants, wireless microphone systems), diagnostic equipment and audiological expertise. 

Prerequisite: Please ensure that our funding criteria are met. For more information, please check our website. 

Please note: We are not accepting applications for the 2024/2025 funding cycle anymore. Your next chance to apply for funding will be in September 2025. The guidance on how to apply below can be considered for next year cycle.
