Direct peers

• Caritas Salzburg: Regional Caritas affiliate offering disability, social, and family support services across Salzburg. Directly comparable as a Salzburg-based non-profit delivering overlapping services (housing, support, family counseling) to vulnerable populations.
• Pro Mente Austria: Austrian non-profit providing supported employment, housing, and psychosocial care for people with mental health and intellectual disabilities. Directly comparable service mix and non-profit funding model.
• Lebenshilfe Wien: Sister Lebenshilfe state organization serving Vienna with comparable services (workshops, housing, personal assistance, family support). A directly comparable regional peer in a larger, more urban market.
• Diakonie Salzburg: Regional branch of Diakonie Austria providing disability support, personal assistance, and family services in Salzburg. Comparable mission, funding model, and service portfolio in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• Arbeitersamariterbund Salzburg: Salzburg branch of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund, delivering care, personal assistance, and social services. Overlaps with Lebenshilfe in personal assistance and care delivery, but broader health-and-rescue remit.
• Hilfswerk Salzburg: Regional branch of Hilfswerk offering home care, family support, and disability services in Salzburg. Overlaps in mobile care and family support, but with a broader elderly-care focus.
• Lebenshilfe Österreich: National federation of Lebenshilfe associations to which Lebenshilfe Salzburg belongs. Operates as a broader advocacy and standards body, not a direct service competitor, but sets policy direction and national funding priorities.
• Volkshilfe Salzburg: Salzburg branch of Volkshilfe Österreich, providing social services including disability support, housing assistance, and family aid. Comparable non-profit model with broader social-services scope.

Emerging players

• Barmherzige Brüder Salzburg: Catholic hospital and care operator active in Salzburg and a co-development partner on the Inklusive Ambulanz project. Comparable in disability/care delivery, with a stronger hospital-clinical footprint.
• Special Olympics Austria: Austrian chapter of Special Olympics providing inclusive sports and leisure programming for people with intellectual disabilities. Partial overlap with Lebenshilfe's Freizeitclub and inclusive cultural/sports partnerships, but focused on athletics rather than residential or employment services.
