General Health Prevention Projects

The funding initiative "General Health Promotion Projects" supports non-profit associations, self-help groups, and other organizations in Salzburg in implementing effective health promotion and prevention projects. The focus is on measures to increase protective factors, strengthen personal and social resources, and improve health-related living conditions in various life settings. By reducing behavioral and non-behavioral risk factors, the program contributes to sustainable health development and relies on innovative approaches that create genuine added value compared to existing offerings. Project sponsors benefit from financial support to implement setting-based concepts, promote networked cooperation, and document and continuously optimize their effectiveness within the framework of accompanying evaluation.
