It suits you if…

  • You run a non-profit organisation that can lead a project with partners.
  • A local, regional or national public authority is ready to join your group.
  • You want to train professionals who work with children or raise awareness.
  • You plan a support hub, physical or digital, offering medical, psychosocial, legal and educational help.
  • Your project fits the project length the call sets.

It is not for you if…

  • You would apply alone: the call asks for a consortium, a group of organisations applying together.
  • You are a profit-oriented organisation wanting to lead: you can only take part as a partner.
  • Your group has no public authority among its members.
  • Your project is about violence against women or other topics, not children.

How much you can get

The call has a total budget of €3,000,000. The project cost cannot be above €600,000. The call pays 90% of the estimated project budget. An advance payment is available. The call is ranked, so projects compete for the budget.

  • 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 costs.
  • Communication costs to present the project on your own websites or social media accounts.
  • Volunteers' unit costs, without indirect costs.

Does not pay

  • A separate website built only for the project.
  • The consultant who writes your proposal: this fee cannot go into the budget.
