What Agaby does

AGABY (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Ausländer-, Migranten- und Integrationsbeiräte Bayerns e.V.) is a registered non-profit association founded in 1993 and headquartered in Nürnberg, Germany. It is the statewide umbrella organization (Dachverband) representing municipal integration advisory councils (Integrationsbeiräte) across Bavaria, coordinating advocacy, political participation support, anti-discrimination work, and policy engagement on behalf of migrants, refugees, and people with immigration histories in the region. The organization runs events including the annual Vollversammlung (general assembly) and Landesintegrationsfachtagungen (state integration specialist conferences), publishes resolutions and position statements, and co-initiates statewide campaigns such as the Internationaler Tag gegen Rassismus (International Day Against Racism).

AGABY does not operate a commercial product or technology platform. Its offerings consist of advocacy services, coordination support, publications, seminars, and training programs such as the "Sprecher*in gegen Diskriminierung" certification. Revenue is generated almost entirely from project-based grants and institutional funding from a small set of public-sector bodies, including the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency (Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes), the EVZ Foundation, and the Federal Commissioner for Anti-Racism, supplemented by membership contributions from its member advisory councils. The organization employs 1–10 staff. In February 2026, AGABY began hosting the LAG Antidiskriminierung Bayern project, which coordinates 13 anti-discrimination counseling centers statewide and includes a discrimination case reporting portal. The organization faced publicly reported financial difficulties in 2025 due to federal funding cuts and Bavarian state austerity measures.

Revenue model

1. Project Funding and Grants: AGABY operates as a non-profit association (eV) funded primarily through project-based grants and institutional funding from government bodies at federal and state level. Funding sources include the Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes (Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency), Bayerisches Staatsministerium des Inneren (Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior), Stiftung Erinnerung Verantwortung und Zukunft (EVZ Foundation), and the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Antirassismus (Federal Government Commissioner for Anti-Racism). Funding challenges have been reported, with the organization publicly expressing concern over reduced federal funding and Bavaria's reluctance to finance counseling structures.
2. Membership Contributions: As the umbrella organization of Bavarian municipal integration advisory councils, AGABY receives membership contributions from its member bodies (Integrationsbeiräte). The organization also generates revenue through seminar and training services, publications, and events.

Direct peers

• Sachverständigenrat für Integration und Migration (SVR): Independent expert council on integration and migration in Germany producing research and policy recommendations. Comparable to AGABY in substantive focus on integration policy and advocacy, but operates federally as an expert body rather than a state-level membership-based advocacy organization.
• Aktion Zivilcourage e.V. Bavarian anti-discrimination and civic courage NGO with overlapping focus on anti-racism, democratic participation, and integration support. Directly comparable geographic and thematic overlap with AGABY's anti-discrimination and integration work.
• Neue Deutsche Organisationen (NDO): Federal network of migrant-led organizations in Germany. Directly comparable as an umbrella/convener of migrant organizations, and AGABY is already a cooperation partner within its broader ecosystem.
• Pro Asyl: Federal-level refugee and asylum rights advocacy organization headquartered in Germany. Directly comparable to AGABY in mission (refugee/asylum advocacy, public policy engagement) but operates at national rather than Bavarian level and focuses specifically on asylum rather than broader integration.
• Bundesverband Netzwerke von Migrant*innenorganisationen (NEMO): Federal association of migrant-organization networks; AGABY is already a cooperation partner. Comparable as a higher-tier umbrella coordinating migrant-led organizations, but operating federated rather than at single-state level.

Broad incumbents

• Deutscher Caritasverband: Germany's largest Catholic welfare association with substantial migration and integration services. Comparable in advocacy and service provision for migrants, but operates as a broader national welfare confederation rather than a focused state integration umbrella.
• Diakonie Deutschland: Germany's largest Protestant welfare association with extensive migration, refugee, and anti-discrimination services. Comparable in serving migrant populations and receiving public funding, but operates as a much larger, broader welfare federation rather than a specialized state-level advocacy umbrella.

Regional players

• Türkische Gemeinde in Deutschland (TGD): German-wide umbrella organization of Turkish-origin community associations. Comparable in advocacy and integration focus, but operates across Germany rather than being anchored in a single state like AGABY.
• Zentralrat Deutscher Sinti und Roma: National umbrella for Sinti and Roma in Germany with anti-discrimination and political participation advocacy. Comparable in advocacy for minority rights and anti-discrimination structures, though focused on a specific minority community.
• Bundeszuwanderungs- und Integrationsrat: Federal-level advisory council on immigration and integration. Comparable in advisory/advocacy role for migrant integration, but operates at national rather than Bavarian state level.
