Support for Cultural Institutions

The funding of religious institutions supports non-profit organizations in Burgenland with construction measures on sacred buildings and associated facilities. The goal is the preservation and modernization of churches, parsonages, parish centers, as well as the provision of liturgical vestments. Through direct grants, the state of Burgenland promotes urgently needed construction and renovation work to meet both historical and contemporary needs. The initiative contributes to safeguarding cultural heritage and ensures that religious institutions can continue to function as centers of community and social interaction in the future.

Only construction and renovation expenses are eligible for funding, with applications possible at any time. A prerequisite for a grant is the submission of a valid funding application by a recognized non-profit organization. Potential applicants include church corporations, parish communities, and corresponding cultural organizations based in Burgenland. The funding process is straightforward and based on the individual decision of the state, within which submitted projects are evaluated for their eligibility for funding. With this continuously available financing option, religious institutions gain a reliable planning perspective for long-term construction projects.
