Description
The funding initiative for "Inclusion-Education+Participation of Children with (significantly) increased care needs in regular groups" by the City of Vienna aims to sustainably optimize fundamental educational offerings in Viennese kindergarten groups for children with an ICD-10/11 diagnosis. It supports sponsoring organizations participating in the "Contribution-Free Kindergarten" model in creating additional inclusion places, for example through external staffing or adjusting group sizes. With funding of up to EUR 2,003.76 per group per month, the quality of care is strengthened and the participation of all children – regardless of physical or mental impairments – in regular groups is promoted. The measure contributes to the comprehensive implementation of the Vienna Education Plan as well as the guideline "Ethics in Kindergarten" and integrates the cross-federal-state Education Framework Plan.
Eligible for funding are private individuals, non-profit organizations, companies, public institutions, associations, cooperatives, and foundations with a valid funding agreement. A prerequisite for the grant is the submission of a mandatory development and participation plan, an individual inclusion concept, and a site concept. The project duration is up to 60 months; applications can be submitted from 01.11.2024 to 31.12.2029. Eligible expenses include, for example, training measures, conversion work for barrier-free care rooms, and special materials. The award criteria are based on public interest, quality of the concept, and appropriate staffing ratios. Processing is carried out via the City of Vienna’s online application form, including project description, financial plan, development and inclusion concept, as well as proof of inclusion and personnel registration. This funding makes a decisive contribution to shaping early education inclusively and enabling more children to participate with equal opportunities in the long term.
