It suits you if…

  • You are a non-profit organisation with a record of training groups against gender-based violence or violence against children.
  • You have already awarded and managed grants to other organisations in this field.
  • You can pass money on to civil society groups and also train them.
  • Your legal entity is established in an EU country or a country associated to the CERV programme.
  • You can register in the Participant Register before you submit.

It is not for you if…

  • You are a private individual: natural persons are excluded.
  • You run a for-profit business: the lead applicant must be non-profit.
  • You want money for your own direct work with victims, not for passing funds on to others.

How much you can get

The grant is a lump sum based on the estimated project budget and a funding rate of 90%. The project cost ceiling is €2,500,000. If you spend €100,000, you receive €90,000 and pay €10,000 yourself. The call does not state whether you must show your own share in a particular form, so ask your CERV contact point before you build the budget. Other amounts shown by our data still need checking in the official call.

  • If you spend €100,000, you receive €90,000 and pay €10,000 yourself.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • Lump sum contributions, a fixed amount agreed in advance instead of itemised invoices.
  • Communication costs for presenting the project on your own website or social media accounts.
  • Volunteers’ unit costs, without indirect costs.

Does not pay

  • Running costs of the organisation, in the third-party projects you fund.
  • A separate website for the project.
  • Consultant fees for writing the application.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Applying without enough proven experience in training groups or awarding grants in this field. Consequence: The application does not meet the conditions and may be rejected.
  • Writing a project with only the funds to third parties, or only the training. Consequence: The proposal is incomplete, because the call asks for both.
  • Forgetting to register in the Participant Register before submitting. Consequence: You cannot submit the proposal.
  • Submitting several proposals as coordinator with the same organisation. Consequence: The organisation breaks the rule of a single proposal as lead applicant.
  • Putting a separate project website or the running costs of funded groups in the budget. Consequence: The call does not pay these costs.
  • Leaving the child protection policy out when activities involve children. Consequence: The application is missing a document the call asks for.

We'll help you with the application

We prepare free of charge the documents about our products: technical and project description, a quote split by the call's cost items, timing and data sheets to attach. For questions about the call, Horizon Europe National Contact Points (Funding & Tenders Portal), the public help desk for applicants, guides you.

For this call and your type of organisation we do not yet have a partner consultant who prepares the application.

We give you free of charge the technical documentation of our products and neutral functional requirements you can pass to any supplier. We do not write the project or the tender specifications. The purchase follows public procurement rules.

In European calls a consultant's fee cannot be put in the project budget: it is paid with your own funds.

If your project includes the usual neXt solutions, you can buy them from us, with a quote split by the cost items of the call.
