LAG Rheinhessen promotes voluntary work in 2019 as well

The Local Action Group (LAG) Rheinhessen also has the opportunity this year to promote "volunteer citizen projects" with state funds. Through this promotion, volunteers in the LEADER region Rheinhessen have the opportunity for small projects with charitable character to receive unbureaucratic support. In total, the LEADER Region Rheinhessen has funds available for this purpose amounting to 20,000 euros.

It addresses non-profit organizations, associations, interest groups or loose associations of individuals that help to strengthen volunteer engagement in the LEADER region. You can receive support of up to 2,000 euros per individual measure. Above all, projects are to be promoted that contribute to the further education and qualification of volunteer work or that also show ways in which people can be won more for volunteer work.
