Association Support of the City of Bautzen

The city of Bautzen supports the diverse commitment of local non-profit associations with institutional grants and project-related subsidies. The aim of the funding is to strengthen social cohesion and democratic coexistence in Saxony, as well as to sustainably support social initiatives. Eligible to apply are registered interest groups or other associations and non-profit organizations that carry out regular club activities or wish to implement smaller projects such as exhibitions, meetings, or documentations.

The funding focus is on activities that enliven local club life and promote social cohesion. A prerequisite for approval is the registered office or active operation within the city limits of Bautzen, as well as the non-profit status of the applying organization. The process includes submitting an informal application with a project description, budget plan, and proof of non-profit status. The decision on the award is made promptly, enabling associations to gain planning security quickly. This funding opens up diverse opportunities to shape cultural and social interaction in the long term and to set local impulses.
