Cross-Regional Family and Senior Funding

This funding program targets non-profit organizations, bodies, and universities in Thuringia that implement cross-regional measures for families and seniors. The goal is to strengthen and support these target groups throughout the Free State.

The program supports a variety of activities benefiting families and seniors, ranging from general association work, family recreation and education, to specific projects and innovative model initiatives. The focus is on cross-regional impact and the funding of personnel and material expenses.

Funding is provided as a non-repayable grant, with the amount varying depending on the type of measure. Both fixed-sum and percentage-based funding are available, with high funding rates of up to 90 percent possible in some cases.

The funding is tied to various conditions, including specific thematic orientations, proof of non-profit status, and adherence to financial and legal requirements.

The application process involves the timely submission of documents to the Thuringian State Administration Office, often after prior concept submission to the Ministry. Approval is granted at the discretion of the authorities within the framework of available budget funds.

The funding program is based on a specific guideline and various laws of the Free State of Thuringia, as well as relevant social security codes, which define the purpose and conditions of the funding in detail.
