As eligibility to grant the fundamental right to public is the promotion of charitable and social activities designated unless the State or local authority provides such support in its financial and legal system.

Funding in the field of education

The largest funding contributions go a. in the areas of school and education , insofar as these tasks are not carried out under public sponsorship - as is the case with private schools The legal basis for these subsidies can also be a general educational mandate, for example for public broadcasting .

In the secondary school system there are u. a. certain funding entitlements for the less and highly gifted , or at universities in the form of scholarships for students with good academic success but low family income.

Social policy

In most countries there are legally regulated entitlements in the area of housing and social policy . Examples in the living area are z. B. Various housing allowances , to which there is a claim in many European countries, special forms such as the heating cost subsidy of individual federal states, or provisions in the German Old Age Assets Act .

In the health sector, important subsidies relate to medical rehabilitation and contributions to remedies , and in the case of comprehensive health systems also to social rehabilitation and the like.

In professional life, the promotion of further training (see second education path ), of business start-ups and various professional development agencies .

Research and arts funding

When it comes to art funding, there is rarely a regulated entitlement to funding; it is a matter of discretion for the public or educational institutions or depends on the framework conditions of the respective funding fund . For example, B. the German Film Funding Authority grants for the production of a new film if the planned project reaches a certain number of reference points . With films already running there are such points u. a. for the number of spectators and for any prizes at film festivals .

In the research , there is no special promotion claim - except indirectly about at university teachers for the time of their research commitment. In the case of research projects or planned third-party funded research, the applicant has to face competition from other projects, because the financial framework of various research funds is usually only sufficient for around 30 to 60 percent of the projects submitted.
