What does the GründachPLUS provide funding for?

The Berlin funding scheme for roof greening was designed to provide comprehensive funding for construction measures aimed at creating living roofs, renovating roofs to make them greener, urban gardening, garage roof greening and green roof terraces.

GründachPLUS offers two funding streams for planned roof greening projects:

Regular funding; and
Green Roof Lab projects.

Both are aimed at the creation of green or living roofs on existing properties, while Green Roof Lab funding is reserved for high-quality and exemplary projects.

Regular funding	Green Roof Lab
Eligible applicants to the regular funding stream can receive grants for conducting roof greening projects on existing properties with a planned green area of at least 100 m². This includes carport greening and garage roof greening.	Green Roof Lab projects are sophisticated roof greening projects with a high level of quality which will act as examples for later projects. They are characterised by an innovative, experimental, participatory or community-focused approach.
Regular funding for roof renovations and roof greening is available exclusively for inner-city areas with limited open space and high levels of pollution.	Funding may also be provided for greening new builds (roofs and façades) and for actions outside of the support region in justified individual cases. Decisions regarding eligibility and the amount of the grants will be taken by a committee chaired by the Senate Department for Environment, Mobility, Consumer Protection and Climate Action.
