Funding from Federal States and the Government
The state governments of Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate and the Federal Government also support integration projects in various ways.
Federal Office for Migration and Refugees
At the federal level, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees is the first point of contact, also with regard to funding for integration projects. Funding is provided for integration projects, multiplier training, sports measures or low-threshold seminar measures for the integration of foreign women, as well as measures to promote return. The BAMF is also responsible for the accreditation of providers of integration courses.

Federal Voluntary Service with reference to refugees
In December 2015, the Federal Voluntary Service for Refugees was launched. Places of deployment can register with the Federal Office for Family Affairs and Civil Society Affairs (BAFzA). Refugees are to be supported in their integration into society. The programme is open to German volunteers as well as to those entitled to asylum and asylum seekers who can be expected to stay legally and permanently. The programme allows institutions to set up a position in the field of refugee assistance. The programme is limited until 31 December 2018.

Kultur macht stark
A large number of sub-programmes are financed by the federal programme „Kultur macht stark“ ("Culture strenghtens"). This is about cultural education for educationally disadvantaged children and young people. Many programmes are well suited for creative projects in the field of integration.
