Family allowance / family recreation allowance

  • Partnerschaft und Familie

Every two years, low-income families from Bremen can apply to the Daniel-Schnakenberg-Stiftung for a subsidy for a recreational activity.

  • Basic information

    The Daniel Schnakenberg Foundation in Bremen promotes the participation of Bremen families, children and young people in family camps run by non-profit organizations.

    Requirements

    Funding is available for:

    • Families with at least one child (up to the age of 17)
    • Single parents with at least one child (up to the age of 17) who take part in family camps run by non-profit organizations or a recreational measure at a recognized family holiday resort in Germany. Recreational activities may not exceed a duration of 21 days and may not be split up in the calendar year.

    Grants for family recreation can only be awarded within the limits of the funds available.
