Land Burgenland

The Office of the Burgenland Provincial Government, Department 9 – EU, Society and Funding, Family Division, is the central funding agency of the State of Burgenland for family policy measures. Within the framework of the Burgenland Family Package, it coordinates and approves funding for stationary parent-child centers (“EKIZ”). The aim is to strengthen family-supportive services where parents can establish social contacts and their children receive age-appropriate support. The funding agency provides application and accounting forms, establishes guidelines, and monitors the proper use of funds.

Our mission is to promote the compatibility of family and work in Burgenland through targeted financial and organizational support. We are committed to the expansion and maintenance of parent-child centers to ensure families have access to local information, educational, and recreational services. Transparent funding procedures, collaborative partnerships with municipalities, associations, and organizations, as well as professional guidance, ensure the effective implementation of our family policy objectives.

Communities, associations, and other non-profit organizations in Burgenland that operate or newly establish stationary parent-child centers are eligible for funding. These centers are aimed at parents, single parents, and other caregivers, offering educational, recreational, and counseling services together with their children. The funding supports providers who strengthen social interaction and family competencies through family-supportive infrastructure.
