Organizations and educational institutions can benefit from the Hasselt subsidy
for equal opportunities, designed to be highly accessible, with streamlined
application procedures. Organizations can receive up to 1300 EUR annually
when they focus on LGBTQIA + related themes, among others. This subsidy
regulation in Hasselt is relatively innovative in its inclusive approach,
consolidating various equal opportunity themes, and societal needs under one
comprehensive framework rather than segregating them. By add ressing barriers
faced by LGBTQIA+ and other diverse groups through actions aimed at
minimizing barriers, promoting empowerment, and or fostering policy
participation, it actively supports these ‘communities’ in accessing and
participating fully in society. Furthermore, there’s also an emphasis on actions
for the broader public, focusing on raising awareness and fostering solidarity
around LGBTQIA+ related issues
