Questions & Answers
Have you already submitted an application for your project via the funding portal by 10 November 2026 and subsequently received a message via the Fömis funding portal stating that you may proceed with the project?
If so, you are not affected. Your application will be processed by our case officers as soon as you have uploaded the documentation proving the use of funds following completion of the project.
For the current status of your application, please refer to the FAQ ‘How can I check the status of my application on the funding portal and what does it mean?’
Are you currently planning a project and would like to apply for funding under the FKG? If so, please note that funding applications cannot be submitted again until after the funding pause, from January 2027.
We will keep you informed via our newsletter and on our website muenchen.de/fkg as soon as the new guidelines have been finalised and the start date has been confirmed.
The guidelines in force at the time of application always apply. You can find all versions of the guidelines in the guidelines history.
The application is submitted by a representative on behalf of the WEG. The ‘applicant’ is the WEG itself. The WEG bears the costs. The invoice must be made out to the WEG. You can find detailed information on the WEG subpage.
The applicant must be the party making the investment, i.e. the invoice recipient. If an invoice has been issued in your spouse’s name, we offer the option of having the invoice reissued. In this case, the invoice must have been paid from a joint account. Your spouse may be listed on the invoice, but you, as the applicant, must be named on it.
When you log in to the funding portal, you will be taken to the ‘My Funding Projects’ page, which features a ‘Project Overview’. This is where your submitted applications are displayed. On the far right, you will find the ‘Status’ column.
The status ‘Draft’ means that the application has not yet been submitted. You can still revise it and then submit it.
The status ‘Funds allocated’ means that you have successfully submitted the application to us and it is now on hold until you notify us that the measures have been completed by uploading the required documents (invoices, etc.) as proof of expenditure.
The status ‘Completed’ means that you have notified us that the measures applied for have been completed by uploading the relevant documents (proof of expenditure has been submitted). The application is now awaiting a technical review of the documents. You do not need to take any further action at this stage. Should any documents be missing, you will receive a notification via the funding portal asking you to upload the missing documents within a specified timeframe.
The status “Settled” means that the documents have been checked and the funding decision has been issued. It may take a few days for the funding decision to be sent to you by post. The funding will be paid out 8–10 weeks after the date of the funding decision.
After logging into the funding portal, select your application in the “Project overview” and look under “Other actions” for the “Apply for an extension” button.
Please note: the deadline and any possible extension vary depending on the funding scheme under the FKG. Please check the deadline regulations on the funding scheme’s website or in the guidelines.
