Support for Alpine Associations - Association Funding

The funding of Alpine Associations in Carinthia ensures a continuously accessible basic financing for alpine clubs and associations. Eligible applicants include interest groups, other clubs, and public institutions in the state of Carinthia, specifically the Carinthian Professional Ski Instructors Association and the Carinthian Mountain Guides Association. In the field of sports, culture & media, a one-time grant supports both the operational club work and the administrative expenses incurred. The establishment of this direct funding was made by discretionary decision and has been valid indefinitely since 01.01.2014. Applications are submitted by Carinthian sports clubs, sports associations, or municipalities, accompanied by a detailed statement of expected income and expenses. A positive funding approval is a prerequisite for the allocation of funds. The support serves to strengthen alpine engagement and promotes the sustainable development of mountain sports infrastructure.

In particular, alpine clubs as well as the associations of professional ski instructors and mountain guides find tailored financial assistance in this program. For the application, the official request of the respective sports clubs or associations or municipalities, as well as the form “Online-Anträge-Alpinevereinigungen.doc,” must be used. The funds can be applied for at any time via the Transparency Portal; there is no deadline. This measure provides the voluntary alpine club landscape in Carinthia with planning security and operational structures to secure and further develop events, training, and infrastructure in the mountain sports sector in the long term.
