Grants for Volunteer Projects in Refugee Assistance

Grants for Volunteer Projects in Refugee Assistance promote civic engagement and strengthen social cohesion in Rhineland-Palatinate. Non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, foundations, public institutions, as well as committed private individuals can submit contributions to innovative aid projects. Funding is provided primarily for expenses related to material resources, transport and travel costs, as well as event expenses, provided the project offers a sustainable added value for refugees and the host community. The basis for funding includes criteria such as social benefit, sustainability, and the intensity of volunteer involvement. Investment costs for real estate and retroactive expenses are excluded.

Applications can be submitted continuously, enabling timely financing of initiatives in the field of migration assistance. Required are a detailed project description, a cost and financing plan, as well as proof documents of non-profit status or an extract from the register of associations, and evidence of volunteer engagement. The Volunteer and Citizen Participation Coordination Office of the State Chancellery Rhineland-Palatinate provides support through information, training, and networking opportunities. Interested initiatives thus gain transparent access to financial grants and professional guidance. This funding measure makes a decisive contribution to sustainably strengthening volunteer commitment and effectively supporting people with a refugee background.
