Book abstract: European union funds have increasingly become available in the last decade for activities involving many various sectors of non-governmental and non-commercial circles. This practical guide provides a comprehensive listing of European Union funding programmes that are relevant to the voluntary sector. It includes details of over 150 budget-lines and programmes, offering financial support ranging from several thousand to over a million euros. For each of the programmes, in addition to the inclusion of contact names, addresses, and web addresses, it gives a summary of the total budget allocated; description of eligibility; the areas and people that the programme is intended to benefit; whether the applicant must have partners in other European countries; the type of grant offered and a description of the projects that will be considered. The programmes are also listed by activity, target groups and area where the activity is (ie within or outside the EU) in order to make it easy to identify those which are most relevant. The book also includes much useful information and advice for would-be applicants. There is a short introduction to the EU and description of the different types of funds, together with a chapter on how to get EU funding. The latter offers advice on subjects such as what to include in the application, timing of the application, finding partners and what happens next if the application is successful. This is a highly practical reference book successfully combining advice with relevant factual information. It should be invaluable for anyone outside the commercial sector who is looking to widen their activities through the use of EU funding. |
