Ad-hoc 2024: No more applications possible - the available funds have been used up.
The demand for ad hoc funding for smaller projects was particularly high this year. We would like to thank all applicants for their commitment. As a result, unfortunately no more projects can be included in the funding for the 2024 calendar year. Project ideas can still be discussed this year.
The application documents for 2025 will be available for all three funding options from mid-December.
On 22 July 2024, the municipal council decided on this year's allocation of funds from the "Future of Youth" project fund and funded a total of ten project applications. The call for proposals and the deadline for 2025 are expected to be published on this website in mid-December.
The ad hoc funding budget has been used up and it is no longer possible to submit an application. For the year 2025, 50,000 euros will again be available for ad hoc projects; you will also find these application documents here on our website from mid-December.
Following a decision by the municipal council, certain key topics are set as part of an annual call for proposals. The call for proposals can provide you with impetus and ideas for your project.
