CHARITY KNOW HOW GRANTS
PROGRAMME 2002
The Charity Know How (CKH) Grants Programme provides small
grants (up to £15,000) for cross-border skill-sharing
partnerships between Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)
based in Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent
States. Applications are particularly encouraged from NGOs
based in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Projects should contain a significant element of transfer
of know-how, and can include training programmes for NGO staff
and volunteers, professional advice and study visits.
In addition to the General Programme, there are two new schemes:
Global Grants which encourage links between organisations
in this region and Asia, Africa or Latin America, and Partnership
Development Grants which aim to develop longer-term sustainable
NGO partnerships
The CKH programme cannot fund applications from individuals,
the teaching of English as a foreign language or other student
programmes, any building or capital costs, the costs of transporting
humanitarian aid or medical equipment, core costs such as
office rent or equipment, and artistic or cultural exchanges.
There will be just two grants rounds in 2002, with deadlines
of 26 February and 27 August.
Certain priorities have been identified, including:
- Cross-border partnerships within the following sub-regions
(Balkans and Carpathians; Caucasus; Central Asia; Western
CIS
- Partnerships where skills and 'know-how' are transferred
from larger, more experienced NGOs to smaller, grass-roots,
community-based organisations, which would otherwise have
limited access to funding.
- ·Partnerships under the 'Global Grants Programme'
involving organisations from two or more of the regions
identified (CEE/FSU; Africa; Asia; Latin America). Beneficiary
NGOs should look in particular for partners who can offer
tools, techniques and methodologies which would be difficult
to find within the beneficiaries' own broad region, or who
can offer a different focus or approach to problems.
- Sustainable partnerships, which involve a longer-term
engagement between the organisations, rather than a short-term
partnership which exists for the terms of the project only.
