Purpose and subject matter

In Germany, the vast majority of people in need of care are cared for at home by relatives and loved ones. Home caregivers often reach the limits of their physical and mental capacity, which is why the Free State of Bavaria promotes offers of support in everyday life to counteract excessive demands. In order to further expand support services and develop new innovative concepts, Bavaria also promotes the establishment and expansion of voluntary structures and self-help in the care sector.

Recipients of funding

Funding can be provided for care networks, training and further training for volunteers and other offers for the training and development of groups of volunteers and other people willing to get involved in civic engagement.

Eligible costs

The costs of the offer are eligible for funding.

Type and amount

The grant is provided within the framework of project funding.

The individual requirements for the recognition and funding of such offers are regulated in Part 8 Sections 6 and 8 of the AVSG and the instructions for the implementation of Part 8 Sections 5 to 8 of the AVSG.
