Funding for Projects on Inclusion, Participation, and Awareness Raising

The funding program in Lower Saxony targets non-profit organizations and municipalities committed to improving the living conditions of people with disabilities. The goal is to raise public awareness of their concerns and promote participation and equal opportunities in society.

The funding supports projects and measures aimed at the inclusion and participation of people with disabilities. This includes a wide range of activities, from barrier removal to creating access to cultural, educational, leisure, and sports activities.

This program offers financial support in the form of non-repayable grants. The amount of the grant varies depending on the applicant and can be up to 80 percent of the eligible expenses, with defined minimum and maximum amounts per project.

Specific conditions must be met for the application and implementation of projects. These include the geographical execution of the project, the submission of detailed project documentation, and compliance with general procedural regulations.

The application process is clearly structured and requires the timely submission of complete documents. Decisions on funding are made twice a year.

The funding program is based on a specific guideline from the Lower Saxony Ministry for Social Affairs, Labor, Health and Equality, supplemented by general administrative regulations.
