Small support
Small support
Small project support is handled on an ongoing basis at our office, which means you can quickly get started with your project. The project will be implemented collaboratively and follow the Leader method.
The project must have a public benefit purpose and be new to the location. It cannot only benefit an individual association or company.
There should be a plan for how the results will be long-term and lasting.
The application must be submitted to Leader before the project starts. Support can only be granted to projects that would not be implemented without funding from the Leader office. The support must lead to a finished result, which means that you cannot apply for only parts of an activity.
The support is paid against reported and paid costs. This means that you need to be able to afford the money during the course of the project.
You need to contribute with voluntary work equivalent to the same amount of support you are applying for. Voluntary time is valued at:
- 340 SEK/hour for people over 16 years old
- SEK 77/hour for young people between 13 and 15 years old.
