Subsidies to associations

The Ministry of Family Affairs, Integration and the Greater Region awards subsidies to associations for projects in the field of integration, intercultural living together and/or the fight against discrimination. This financial support partially covers the project expenses identified as eligible.

The following organisations can apply for a subsidy: non-profit organisations and federations.

In 2023, two types of subsidies are offered to associations in the framework of the call:

  1. support for associations initiating projects in the field of integration and intercultural living together;
  2. support for associations organising an event and wishing to contribute to the "I can vote" awareness campaign.

Applications for subsidies (application form and annexes listed) will be analysed by the Department of Integration, which will assess the eligibility of the project according to the criteria also described in the "terms and conditions of award 2023". Applications must be complete and submitted by the following deadlines:

Agreements

The Department of Integration works closely with many associations and NGOs that promote integration and/or foreigners in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. More specifically the Ministry for the Family, Integration and the Greater Region concludes a partnership agreement with certain organisations to carry out activities in favour of integration.

In 2023, the Ministry for the Family, Integration and the Greater Region will finance the activities of ASTI, CLAE, CEFIS and Caritas:

  • The agreement with ASTI covers 3 areas of activity: the support of municipalities, direct oral translations and the information desk for migrants (Guichet Info-Migrants).
  • The agreement with Caritas covers 2 areas: Reception (Structuring the offer) and the Oasis Centre.
  • CEFIS is active in the pilot municipalities of the "Pakt vum Zesummeliewen", conducting a study on racism and ethno-racial discrimination and raising awareness about voter registration through training of multipliers.
  • CLAE promotes the reception, information, orientation and training of individuals on the one hand, and supports the expression of associations and citizenship on the other, while seeking to promote new citizen paradigms.
