In 2019, TREY will provide its organizations with 80,000 euros in operational grants. Half of the sum will be divided according to the financial needs of the organization and half to the quality of the activities. Grants are based on the Association Standing Order and the criteria for the 2019 motivational part.
The applying period for operational grant for organizations is from 7.6. to 1.7. and at the same time it is possible to leave the association announcement. All organizations have been sent an activation link to Tahlo and instructions via email list. The guide to the association announcement and the action grant application can also be found below.
Here are some important things and answers to FAQ:
- As a part of the association announcement you should report all board members, officers and other positions of responsibility on the site ”Board”. You can add titles from the ”Manage titles” button.
- You can save the application as a sketch by pressing ”Send”. When you return to add information your previous text will be there. We’ll evaluate the latest version.
- Please answer to the motivational part questions regarding your previous term. For associations whose accounting period is a calendar year, the actions of 2019 will be included in the operational grant application of 2020. You can include some of the actions that are planned for this term but the weight is heavily on the actualised actions of the previous term, so focus on those.
