Support for family-oriented organizations/companies

With the support of family-oriented organizations and companies in Upper Austria, the Family Department specifically funds ongoing expenses, innovative projects, and professional consulting services that contribute to sustainably strengthening family-oriented offerings. Funding is provided to companies, interest groups, and associations, including explicitly parents' associations of public compulsory schools and mirror playgroups that organize traditional customs throughout the year. Through the development of social initiatives in the areas of children and youth as well as work & social affairs, intergenerational experiences are created. Ongoing funding opportunities offer applicants flexible planning options, while financing is provided in the form of a direct grant. The goal is to enable active participation of families and to keep cultural values alive. Regional anchoring in the state of Upper Austria ensures local identification.

A prerequisite for funding is the organization of events with at least 50 participants between 01.07.2025 and 31.12.2026. Each applicant may apply for a maximum of two festivals per calendar year. Grants of up to 300 euros per festival cover material costs, external services such as experts, entertainment offerings, or educational services, as well as participant catering; alcoholic beverages are excluded. The application must include a detailed financial plan including concept, budget plan(s), an invitation or event flyer, and a current extract from the association register. Upon completion of the funded measures, appropriate proof of use must be provided by submitting payment receipts and cost carrier evaluations to ensure transparent processing.
