FCRA PROJECT: VISEGRAD FUND - SMALL GRANTS

Deadline: 01.12.2014

Small Grants

With the excep­tion of cross-border projects, enti­ties from at least three Visegrad Group (V4) coun­tries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) must be involved (e.g. a V4 orga­nizer and at least two V4 part­ners). It is advised, how­ever, to include part­ners from all V4 coun­tries. Any orga­ni­za­tion or nat­ural per­son in the world (with the excep­tion of insti­tu­tions directly funded from state bud­gets) is eli­gi­ble for the fund­ing pro­vided that the pro­posed project has “Visegrad” fea­tures (for inspi­ra­tion please see pre­vi­ously awarded grants). For more details see the grant guide­lines.

Most recip­i­ents are non-governmental and civil soci­ety orga­ni­za­tions (NGOs and CSOs), munic­i­pal­i­ties, schools and other pub­lic insti­tu­tions. Maximum con­tri­bu­tion of the Fund for each Small Grant project is €6,000. The finan­cial con­tri­bu­tion of the Fund can­not exceed 80% of total project costs includ­ing the in-kind con­tri­bu­tion of the appli­cant, or in-kind con­tri­bu­tions of other sub­jects. Maximum time frame of the pro­posed projects is 6 months (even if the projects are envis­aged to last longer).

Projects financed within Small Grants should fall within one of the fol­low­ing six cat­e­gories: cul­tural coop­er­a­tion, sci­en­tific exchange and research, edu­ca­tion, youth exchanges, cross-border coop­er­a­tion or pro­mo­tion of tourism.

Annual bud­get: €640,000
