project Ready within preparedness

Apply for funding for preparedness initiatives

Who can apply?

The application is open by municipality. Those who can apply are non-profit associations, organizations, and local groups operating in Astrid Lindgren's Home District, that is:
Aneby, Eksjö, Hultsfred, Högsby, Kinda, Nässjö, Vetlanda, Vimmerby, Ydre and part of Oskarshamn municipality.

How much can you apply for?

A leader check is suitable for carrying out projects of smaller scope. It is possible to apply for support between 10,000 and 25,000 SEK. Remember to provide documentation that shows how you arrived at your costs such as quotes, price information from a website, or similar. 

Things to consider when you apply:

• Answer briefly and clearly to the questions in the application – quality over quantity.
• Specify exact amounts for all costs based on the cost documentation you have prepared, as these are the figures on which the decision is based.
• Obtain quotes/price information for the costs as far as possible and attach them to the application. We do not approve quotes or work to be performed by close relatives.
• Set a reasonable project timeline. All costs must arise after the application has been submitted and be paid before the end date.
• All materials produced in the project (for example, printed materials such as posters, invitations, mailings, websites) must include correct logos for the EU fund and Leader. Read more under the document conditions on the website or contact Astrid Lindgren's Home District regarding which rules apply.
• Attach documentation (for example, minutes from the constitutive meeting) that shows who or which individuals are authorized signatories in the association. The documentation must not be older than one year.
• If you provide a bank account number for payment, attach a bank statement.

It is not possible to receive support to finance:

• Regular operations or ongoing maintenance.
• Salary costs or personal work.
• Costs incurred before the application was submitted (we cannot provide support retroactively).
• Projects where the greatest benefit lies outside our geographical area
• Investments – investment costs for physical or intangible assets (such as patents, licenses, and software) over 24,000 SEK excluding VAT or 30,000 SEK including VAT and which have a lifespan of more than three years. Connections to investments are also included in the investment cost, such as shipping, assembly, earthworks, consulting fees, etc. For questions, contact Astrid Lindgren's Home District.

When will we hear back?

Notification will be given no later than 4 weeks after the application period for each municipality has closed.
