The "Aktiv vor Ort" program supports voluntary work by associations and initiatives in rural areas with up to 5,000 euros.
According to the information, a total of 424 applications were submitted. The average amount awarded was 2276 euros, with the highest possible sum being granted five times. A volunteer fire department in the Greiz district applied for and received just 105 euros. It wanted to send 15 members a floral greeting as a thank you. In 2022, the funding amount was one million euros, with the money coming from the state.
