Service Description

If you are a low-income family or a family with many children, you can apply for a grant for your family vacation or a grant for your child's vacation under certain conditions.

As a low-income family with many children, you can apply for a subsidy for your family vacation. This is possible if you do not exceed certain income limits or receive social benefits. You organize the family vacation yourself. This may last from 5-14 days.

The purpose of funding your family vacation is to strengthen togetherness. The trip should therefore focus on the shared family experience.

As a low-income family with many children, you can apply for funding for vacation and leisure activities for your children.

The funding is granted for a minimum of seven days and a maximum of 21 days.

There is no legal entitlement to the grant. It is based on the dutiful discretion of the granting authority and the available budget funds.
