Funding for Care Associations

This funding program supports recognized care associations in Baden-Württemberg in carrying out their legally mandated cross-sectional tasks. The goal is to maintain and further develop a comprehensive network of care associations throughout the state.

The program funds personnel and material expenses incurred by care associations for fulfilling their specific cross-sectional tasks. It supports various activities that contribute to strengthening volunteer care and providing comprehensive public information.

Support is provided as a grant to cover personnel and material expenses. The funding consists of an annual basic grant and various forms of additional funding linked to specific services provided by the association. There is also start-up funding for newly established associations.

For funding, care associations must meet specific legal and structural conditions that ensure effective and coordinated performance of their tasks. These include coordinated cooperation with local authorities and a solid personnel structure.

The application procedure for funding care associations is conducted annually through the Kommunalverband für Jugend und Soziales Baden-Württemberg (Municipal Association for Youth and Social Affairs Baden-Württemberg). Applications must be submitted on time with the required documents to receive financial support.

Funding for care associations is based on a specific administrative regulation of the Ministry of Social Affairs Baden-Württemberg and several relevant state laws. These regulations ensure the legitimacy and framework of financial support.
