Procedure details
Description
Purpose
The purpose of the funding is to support those affected in self-help measures (exchange, information, participation in community life).
Object and funding recipients
Eligible self-help groups are associations of physically or mentally disabled or chronically ill people and/or their family members at local level. A regular personal exchange must take place (regular meetings). No staff may be employed in return for payment and the groups may not be purely virtual (e.g. Internet). Groups that meet exclusively for hobbies or sports do not perform self-help work within the meaning of the guidelines.
Type and amount
An annual lump sum of up to EUR 400 is paid to cover the costs of group work.
Requirements
The self-help groups to be supported should have at least six members at all times and be prepared to accept all those affected in the catchment area.
Required documents
-
Power of attorney, proof of membership
-
Description of the self-help group (only if applying for the first time or if there are serious changes in the previous tasks)
-
Statement of the umbrella association / the state association for the disabled / the state working group for self-help in Bavaria e.V.
Proceedings
Applications from self-help groups must be submitted in writing using the forms available from the Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales (ZBFS). Two authorized group members must sign the application and bank details are required.
The self-help groups submit the application for a grant to an umbrella organization of independent welfare services, to a state association for the disabled of which they are a member, or to the state working group SELBSTHILFE von Menschen mit Behinderung und chronischer Erkrankung und ihrer Angehörigen in Bayern e. V. (SELF-HELP for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses and their relatives in Bavaria). Self-help groups that are members of several state associations for the disabled submit the application to the state association of their choice. Self-help groups that are not affiliated with a state association submit the application to the LAG Selbsthilfe. After reviewing the application, they will forward it to the Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales (ZBFS), which will decide on the application.
Deadlines
The application must be submitted to the preliminary reviewing body (disability association, welfare association, LAG Selbsthilfe) by November 1 of the previous year.
