Helfen Leben (SHL) invites non-profit organizations to apply with their
projects for funding generated by the Social Day. These projects should
directly support children and young people in their social development.
Further information about the aims of SHL, the applicants and the
project funding can be found in the funding guidelines.
SHL has organized Social Days regularly since 1998. The idea is
simple:
for one day school students do not attend school but work and donate
their income to the work of SHL. The commitment of the young people is
not limited to this one day. They are also directly involved in the
selection of those youth projects which will be supported.
SHL is
a non-profit organization which contributes to the social development
of children and young people through youth projects. It supports the
process of building democratic civil societies in Southeastern Europe.
From our perspective, the participation of children and youth is
essential in a sustainable process of designing and implementing
projects. So far, we have contributed more than 20 million Euros in
funding to the region and have been involved in more than a hundred
projects in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia,
Romania and Serbia.
Applicants use their project ideas to apply
for a funding period of two years from September 1st, 2012. The project
must be completed within this period. The organization carrying out the
project must have a good track record of professional work and be able
to prove this with articles of association, a vision/mission statement,
strategies, financial statements, etc. A precondition is the
organization´s connectedness with local partners and stakeholders
relevant to the project. The planned project budget for the two year
funding period needs to be between 75,000 and 200,000 Euros.
The deadline for applications is December 20th, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Applications
must be written in German or English and can only be submitted online
through the application form which is available at
