Funding calls for volunteer citizen projects and small projects in Moselle francs

The motto "People-Region-Europe: On the way to a common region in the border triangle Germany-France-Luxembourg" is the guiding principle of the Local Action Group (LAG) Moselfranken for the current LEADER funding period. Together with the local people, we want to bring our region further forward. To do this, we need your ideas for new projects - and we offer you our funding for this!

In addition to municipalities, clubs, parishes and associations, project sponsors can also be private individuals and companies. The decisive factor for selecting a project idea is how well it advances the region and supports the implementation of our LEADER development strategy.

For new project ideas, the LAG Moselfranken is launching two new calls for funding on February 15:

  • Funding call budget: at least €100,000 regional budget*
    *The requested funds are subject to budgetary approval, any increase in the amount of funds is subject to approval by the ADD!
