Project Service / Support for Catholic Youth Work in Bavaria

The project service of the Foundation State Office for Catholic Youth Work in Bavaria supports institutions and initiatives of Catholic youth work in Bavaria with tailored grants starting at €500. The goal is to promote concrete measures in the areas of voluntary services, youth work, extracurricular educational work, and projects on One World topics. Interested organizations receive personal advice on funding opportunities to purposefully shape their commitment to children, youth, and volunteers. With a funding rate of 100%, the program provides financial resources that can be used according to individual specifications and strengthen social cohesion as well as democratic learning. Continuous application windows enable flexible project planning throughout the entire year.

Non-profit organizations and public institutions in Bavaria that are committed to educational offerings and social engagement of young people are eligible for funding. The minimum funding amount of €500 can be applied for outside of an existing foundation and is available without additional own contributions. In addition to voluntary services and traditional youth work offerings, innovative extracurricular educational formats as well as One World initiatives are also supported. Applications can be submitted at any time and are handled unbureaucratically through the Foundation Center for Catholic Youth Work in Bavaria. The combination of expert advice and flexible allocation of funds creates an effective instrument that both strengthens existing projects and promotes the development of new educational and encounter formats.
