Funding is also available for the construction of school sports facilities for the types of schools mentioned as well as for private dormitories run by non-profit organizations. The construction or operation of the school or home must be in the public interest.

Procedure
The application must be submitted in writing to the locally responsible government with all required documents. After examination, the government decides on the granting of a voluntary state contribution.
Special notes
