Welfare grants support concrete actions or purchases to promote the well-being of residents. The funded activities must be open to everyone and free for participants. Support can be received for events, trips, purchases, training, or other projects. The budget for 2025 is €7,000, with a minimum grant of €100. The activities must take place during 2025. Support is paid retroactively based on costs. For justified reasons, support can be paid in advance. Funding will not be granted for costs incurred before the application is submitted.
