Care and Information for the Entitled Group of Persons under the Victim Welfare Act

This funding initiative in Vienna supports non-profit associations and interest groups dedicated to informing and representing eligible persons under the Victim Welfare Act. Recognized victim organizations receive financial support to provide comprehensive advice to affected individuals and survivors, informing them about their rights and available support options. By specifically subsidizing expertise in social and legal fields, the visibility of victim interests is strengthened, and equal access to assistance services is ensured. This measure not only promotes the social participation of those affected but also contributes to raising public awareness of victim-related issues.

The grant is continuously available, allowing funding applications to be submitted at any time. A prerequisite is recognition as a victim association within the meaning of the Victim Welfare Act, as well as proof of ongoing information and representation activities for politically persecuted persons and their survivors. The funding type includes directly approved subsidies without deadline restrictions, enabling flexible project planning. The goal is the sustainable strengthening of organizations that provide victims with a reliable point of contact and effectively represent their interests at political and societal levels. Thus, the initiative makes a significant contribution to strengthening the social network and promoting justice and support for victims of violence and political persecution.
