Funding for Volunteering in Brandenburg

The funding initiative supports non-profit organizations, interest groups, and associations in Brandenburg in implementing volunteer projects related to integration, cultural and social initiatives, as well as democratic cohesion. The focus is on projects that strengthen social cohesion, promote the participation of newcomers and immigrants, and advance intercultural exchange within the state. The statewide grants provide flexible scope for diverse forms of engagement in the areas of migration, labor & social affairs, and democracy promotion, contributing to Brandenburg being experienced as an open-minded and solidaristic community. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis, ensuring the swift and needs-based implementation of supported projects.

A prerequisite for funding is having a registered office or project location in Brandenburg, as well as affiliation with the thematic fields of volunteering, integration, or social cohesion. Eligible for funding are exclusively legal entities under public law or private sponsors with non-profit status. The program supports acquisitions, personnel and material costs, as well as conceptual measures that have a sustainable impact on civil society participation. Transparent use of funds and documentation of project results are required. Volunteer-engaged groups, associations, and clubs thus receive tailored financial support to implement their own ideas, expand networks, and foster a positive culture of welcome. The continuous funding opportunity creates a reliable framework for forward-looking engagement throughout Brandenburg.
