Review of Potential Domestic and Foreign Funding Opportunities |
| Introduction | Foreign Funding Opportunities | Domestic Funding Opportunities | Index |
The Deputy Prime Minister's Poverty Reduction Strategy Implementation Focal Point, together with Ministry of Finance and national and international partners taking part in the implementation of the Strategy, has prepared the fourth edition of the Review of Potential Domestic and Foreign Funding Opportunities, intended for NGOs, Local Governments, SME and Entrepreneurs in Serbia. The Review aims to contribute to higher awareness of all partners and shall provide insight into resources for implementing various program and project activities placed at disposal of non-government organizations, municipalities, small and medium-sized enterprises, entrepreneurs and individuals.
The Review provides an answer to a frequently asked question in the whole of Serbia: who should a concrete project proposal be submitted to. In this regard, the Review provides assistance to those who already know what they need what changes they wish to attain and what steps should be taken so as to achieve them. For that reason, our intention is to regularly publish updated versions of the Review with the latest information, and distribute it to a large number of stakeholders.
We have given our best to make the Review as informative and practical as possible, and for it to be a useful guide for raising funds from domestic and international donors and state institutions.
We are hoping that the fourth edition of the Review of Potential Domestic and Foreign Funding Opportunities shall fulfill its purpose and prove to be additional stimulation for the involvement of all beneficiaries who may contribute to the implementation of recommendations of the Poverty Reduction Strategy in Serbia and the improvement of the quality of life of its citizens.
Deputy Prime Minister's PRS Implementation Focal Point
Everyone who works and plans is well acquainted with two stages of project development: turning an idea into a consistent plan of actions with clear objectives and deadlines which should be met, and the other when financial resources should be sought from a donor for its implementation. Everyone who has been involved in project development may confirm that it is easier to prepare a project than to finance it.
Donor resources are not only limited, but also have to be sought at different addresses and used under different conditions which not many people are acquainted with in detail. Therefore, the initiative of the Deputy Prime Minister's Poverty Reduction Strategy Implementation Focal Point, which attempts to provide an overview of potential resource for which non-government organizations, local governments, small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs may apply directly, represents valuable assistance to numerous social partners for the realization of their initiatives.
Fight against poverty and mitigation of its far-reaching consequences on many people, who may not on their own and without assistance hope for a better life, is a very difficult task. It is easier if burden is shared among social partners – state bodies and institutions and social organizations and citizen associations. We expect that simple information on donors and learning about conditions for submitting projects shall contribute to a faster and more efficient implementation of good projects and initiatives in favor of the most disadvantaged.
We hope that an efficient tool has been developed which shall facilitate the identification of needs and enable efficient linking with donors. We hope that better accessibility and knowledge of donors shall result in new ideas, initiatives and projects clearly directed at solving the problem of poverty in most deprived communities.
We would like to thank everyone who has taken part in the realization of the project.

For municipal grants, the first opportunity for these was launched in summer 2007 - only the four target municipalities were eligible to apply, all applications involved a cross-border partnership and targeted the GPKT communities.
Application procedures and deadlines
Specific calls for proposals are announced on www.gpkt.org and published in local press.
Minimum-maximum amount for funding
Dependent on specific round of micro-grants and Call for Proposals - maximum amount usually under 15,000 Euro.
Project Duration
Micro-grant project duration dependent on specific round of grants and Call for Proposals - usually around 6 months or less.
Limitations
Entities in the immediate neighborhood of the GPKT region are eligible; however, the target beneficiaries must be within the territory of the four GPKT municipalities.
Specific requirements
All initiatives funded through the micro-grant programmes must provide support to cross-border co-operation and help achieve the overarching goals of conflict prevention and community development

Program Title
Balkan Incentive Fund for Culture
Aim of the program/project
Grant-giving in support of independent cultural projects in the Balkan region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro and Kosovo) continues to be a core commitment of the ECF. In an enlarged EU where there is a lack of accessible funding for cross-border projects, we remain convinced that grants for small to medium-sized cultural organizations are an essential part of developing collaborative practice and boosting the cultural dimension of a richly diverse Europe.
Areas of Assistance
Our current areas of interest are as follows: intercultural competence and collaboration across borders; Increased participation in the arts and the media; and strategies to break cultural isolation; The cultural dimension of EU enlargement; Strategies for change within cultural infrastructures; Creative responses to current political issues; Development of a common public and cultural European space.
Geographical area
Serbia & the Balkans region
Who may apply?
Independent cultural organizations (NGOs) from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Kosovo may apply as lead applicants or partner organizations. All projects should feature at least one country from this group.
Application procedure and deadlines
Currently BIFC is working on a new set-up of the overall ECF Grants programme. These changes will be implemented by beginning of 2008. More information on the ins and outs of these changes will be available in December. Please check BIFC site regularly for latest updates.
Minimum-maximum amount for funding
ECF grants usually vary between Euro 5,000 and Euro 30,000. The average project grant is Euro 10,000 - 15,000. The ECF cannot support more than 80% of the project's total budget.
Project Duration

Limitations
We do not support: activities that focus only on the academic sector or represent traditional approaches to research and education (e.g. school/university exchanges, scholarships, research or education programmes firmly located within a traditional institution); conventional approaches to arts education or art therapy; awards, competitions; folkloric events and projects which focus on conserving European heritage; actions that could otherwise be supported by specialist public and private arts funds (e.g. production costs of a one-off performance or art work, touring of an existing work or operating costs of an organization's regular activities); individual literary works, translations or running costs of an ongoing series of publications or cultural reviews (however, publications documenting your collaborative project may be included in your budget); Initiatives based solely on tourism; Projects that rely entirely on funding from our organization; Organizations whishing to realize a project without strong partners; Please note that festivals will only be supported in exceptional circumstances, where content fits closely with the ECF's current areas of interest.
Priority will be given to professional organizations working in the cultural sector on contemporary projects. We do not support commercial organizations, state institutions, amateur organizations, organizations focusing primarily on education, religion or heritage, or projects organized by student bodies. Individuals, including those seeking scholarship, bursary or residency costs, cannot apply for a project grant. The ECF has two mobility funds which support individual professionals in the cultural sector: STEP beyond and the Roberto Cimetta Fund. Please look at our website for more information and details of how to apply.
Specific requirements
There is no specific requirement regarding the number of countries that should be represented. What we wish to see is evidence of genuine cross-border collaboration in all stages of the project - planning, development and implementation. We are not interested in superficial consortia built for fundraising purposes. Regional and smaller-scale projects are as welcome as pan-European collaborations. However, we will not usually award grants to local or bilateral projects that could be supported through national or regional funds.
As well as relevance to our current areas of interest, we will be looking for the following qualities in your application: originality; high professional standards; strong mutually agreed partnerships; impact (beyond specialist or traditional niches); sustainability; experimentation; accessible and transferable practical results; European relevance; a clear and precise argumentation; a strong communication strategy; a balanced budget with mixed funding.

The European Agency for Reconstruction's task was to manage the European Union's main assistance programmes (CARDS program) in Serbia (Montenegro, UN-administered Kosovo) and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Having made the decision to replace the pre-accession funds with the new instrument for pre-accession (IPA), The European Commission, together with the state administration becomes authorized institution in managing the EU pre-accession funds for the period 2007-2013. The new instrument for pre-accession assistance aims to increase the capacity of the state administration, encourage social economic development, and respond to the needs of stabilization and accession process.
IPA is made up of five specialized components: a) transitional assistance and and institution building b)cross-border cooperation, c) regional development, d) human resources development, e) rural development.
Components
1 and 2 target the countries which are potential candidates, while
components 1 to 5 target the candidate countries. Republic of
Serbia, as well as the other countries, potential candidates for EU
membership, will be given an opportunity to use the funds from the
first two components. It is also possible to finance the
programs/projects from components three, four and five through the
first component. The reason for such division between candidates and
potential candidates is the lack of appropriate capacities in the
potential candidate counties, in managing all the components.
The
Ministry of Finance as decided by the Government of the Republic of
Serbia, was named as the national IPA aid coordinator. With that in
mind, the government of the Republic of Serbia, adopted the Action
plan for IPA programming in 2008.
The financial frame for IPA amounts to €11.468 billion, which is the amount allocated by EU member states for aid in 2007 till 2013. More of that on:

This Review covers EU regional programmes managed by other institutions.
Cross border programmes
The Cross border Programmes are instrument of the European Union for support and promotion of cross-border co-operation outside of EU borders. The Programmes focus on promotion of sustainable economic and social development, protection of the environment, fight against organized crime, improvement of border control and promotion of "people-to-people" actions.
The Programmes aim at reducing differences in the levels of development between regions outside of the EU external borders, and at promoting cooperation between local communities as well as in the area of culture. The calls for proposals follow European Union rules for external aid programmes. The funds are distributed through so-called grant scheme mechanisms that enable direct financial grants to beneficiaries. Each programme has its priorities and limitations under which applicants can submit their proposals.
Ministry of Finance, Department for cross border cooperation, is a national institution in charge of programme coordination and implementation, whereas Delegation of the European Commission is Contracting Authority. Local offices have been open in order to facilitate coordination and activities at the local level.
