Federal government bolsters encouragements for voluntary engagement with Evolut program
The German Federal Government has announced a series of measures aimed at supporting and recognising the invaluable contribution of volunteers in society. The focus of these initiatives, spearheaded by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, is to create a more streamlined and supportive environment for voluntary engagement.
One of the key changes is the increase in the income threshold for non-profit organisations, where funds must be used promptly. The threshold is rising from 45,000 to 100,000 euros, providing more flexibility for organisations to plan and manage their resources effectively.
Another significant development is the expansion of liability privilege for volunteers, which is being increased to 3,300 euros. This move is designed to offer greater protection to volunteers, encouraging more people to get involved in community activities.
The measures for volunteering and engagement will be discussed and decided in the German Bundestag in the coming weeks. The Federal Government, through these initiatives, demonstrates a strategic approach to volunteering and engagement, recognising it as a foundation for society and cohesion.
In addition, bureaucracy is being reduced for clubs and initiatives, with a focus on bureaucracy reduction and legal simplification for voluntary engagement in the near future. This move is expected to make it easier for individuals and organisations to get involved in volunteering activities.
The German Federal Government is also committed to ensuring the appreciation and recognition of volunteering. The volunteer allowance is increasing to 960 euros, and the coach's allowance is increasing to 3,300 euros. These increases aim to provide more recognition and support to those who dedicate their time and strength to volunteering.
Moreover, the Federal Government has decided on the Future Pact for Volunteering, which is a comprehensive plan to foster volunteering and engagement in Germany. The pact includes initiatives for knowledge building and transfer, and the acquisition of new talent in the volunteering sector.
Berlin will advocate for the visibility and appreciation of volunteering, knowledge building and transfer, and the acquisition of new talent. In the Bergisches Städtedreieck, volunteering significantly shapes community life, and these initiatives are expected to have a positive impact on these regions.
CDU Member of the German Bundestag, Jürgen Hardt, has been discussing the importance of volunteering. He emphasises that volunteering is not just about helping others, but also about fostering a sense of community and belonging.
In conclusion, the German Federal Government's initiatives demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting and recognising the vital role of volunteers in society. By reducing bureaucracy, increasing allowances, and fostering knowledge building and talent acquisition, the Government aims to create a more supportive environment for volunteering and engagement.
