Funds for migrant integration in Germany

The fund listed below are available to migrant integration initiatives in Germany. Non-profit organisations and local authorities can apply for financing through several EU funds. The federal government also provides funding for integration and job-related language courses, migration counselling services, labour market integration measures, recognition of professional qualifications, as well as many other integration measures and projects. Some aspects of integration policy, such as education, fall within the responsibility of the Lander. Furthermore, the municipalities also bear a considerable amount of integration cost.
