Animal Insurance Funding

Animal Insurance Funding in Vienna supports small, mutual cattle and horse insurance associations with a direct subsidy for the reinsurance premium. The goal is to significantly reduce the cost of animal-related insurance and thereby relieve the associations in terms of contribution payments. The funding approach simultaneously fulfills climate-friendly aspects by stabilizing sustainable, regional structures in animal welfare and strengthening local communities. As a so-called ongoing funding opportunity, the measure is available at any time until the volume is exhausted and offers permanent security for established associations.

Eligible for funding are exclusively associations founded before January 1, 1969, and headquartered in Vienna. The grant requires membership in a small mutual cattle or horse insurance association that concludes premium-based insurance contracts. The eligible volume amounts to 0.018 million euros and is granted proportionally based on reinsurance premiums paid. Interested association committees can submit applications continuously, with the funding period unlimited until the budget is exhausted. Through clear prerequisites and simple funding modalities, the program makes a significant contribution to the economic preservation of small agricultural and equestrian organizations in the federal capital.
