Seek support for voluntary social and health promotion work

Voluntary social associations and organizations can apply for grants for voluntary social and health-promoting work pursuant to Section 18 of the Service Act and Section 7 of the Elderly Act.

What can funds be applied for?

For associations' work to support people who have difficulties - for example children, young people and families with personal and social problems, lonely, frail elderly, sick, disabled, addicts, refugees / immigrants, mentally ill - and health-promoting efforts in general.

Can I apply verbally as an association or organization?

The opportunity to present an oral application for support is particularly aimed at applicants who experience challenges in completing a written application, for example due to dyslexia, visual impairment or other challenges that make it difficult to complete the application without assistance.

The application is presented at a meeting with the municipality's volunteer consultant.

Applicants wishing to attend a presentation meeting must contact the volunteer consultant no later than 14 days before the application deadline for the current round - i.e. no later than mid-November for round 1 and mid-May for round 2.

At the presentation meeting, the applicant must bring or be able to provide information about:

• A description of the activities or services that the association's volunteers carry out and are applying for support for
• The association's CVR number
• Contact information for the President, Vice President and Treasurer
• Most recently approved accounts
• Most recently approved articles of association

The volunteer consultant will then help you fill out the application form based on this information.

Once the association has approved the completed application, the volunteer consultant submits the application on behalf of the association.

When will we receive a response to our application?

Responses to the application can be expected in mid-February and mid-August. Allocated funds can be expected to be transferred to the association's Easy account at the end of February and August.
