Contributions to private legal entities for ongoing expenses

The funding measure "Contributions to private legal entities for ongoing expenses" supports non-profit associations, interest groups, and educational institutions based in Upper Austria that are active in the field of childcare. The focus is particularly on psychological counseling services and other socio-pedagogical offerings for children and adolescents. As a continuously announced grant, the state of Upper Austria has been providing financial resources since November 25, 2013, to cover ongoing expenses, thereby contributing to the long-term assurance of high-quality care services. Funding areas include the topics of children and youth, social affairs, counseling, as well as labor and business financing. Allocation is based on the general funding guidelines of the state and aims to strengthen existing structures and sustainably promote innovative care projects.

A prerequisite for funding is the provision of services in the field of childcare and compliance with the general funding guidelines of the state of Upper Austria. Applications can be submitted informally and without a binding deadline on an ongoing basis. The application must include a complete statement of income and expenses as well as a concise description of the funded project. After approval, an annual activity report and a final accounting must be submitted to the Education Directorate of Upper Austria. The continuous funding opportunity facilitates flexible project planning and helps to address areas of need in the social sector quickly and unbureaucratically.
