Subsidies to Various Institutions

The one-time subsidy for projects, events, and associations with a Carinthian connection supports natural and legal persons as well as private-sector and non-profit institutions from the fields of culture, research & innovation, social cohesion / democracy, culture & media, and labor & social affairs. Applicants can submit a grant application at any time for measures that create regional added value – ranging from traditional customs and costume groups to research institutes and memorial and citizen initiatives. The decision on discretionary funding is made by the Directorate of the Provincial Office of the Carinthian State Government, Department 1, ensuring a straightforward review and approval process. The tailored funding helps to sustainably strengthen cultural diversity, scientific innovations, and social engagement in Carinthia.

For a successful application, a fully completed application form, a subsidy declaration, and a detailed financing plan are required. Funding prerequisites include verifiable Carinthian relevance and a positive funding commitment before expenses are incurred. The subsequent audit verifies original invoices up to the amount of the granted funds. Thanks to the always open submission window, the subsidy is particularly suitable for flexible project planning and spontaneous initiatives with a local focus. Interested organizations can obtain information about the application procedure and secure appropriate support for their project from Department 1 – Directorate of the Provincial Office of the Carinthian State Government.
