Criteria for the foundation
Criteria for the foundation:
When the Foundation considers an application, it pays particular attention to whether or not the project easily fulfills the object and purpose of the Foundation. The foundation’s core values describe the substance of the foundation and the aim of our work. Below is a list of the criteria that should be fulfilled by all projects:
The project is part of a context and the community in which it exists.
The project should preferably be innovative with a strong feel of entrepreneurship.
The project should preferably enhance the target groups’ own initiative and independence.
The project should lead to change for a larger group of people/animals/wildlife.
The activities of the project should work towards long-term change.
The project must be relevant for a broad public and easy to communicate in the media.
The project must have a Swedish connection and/or be relevant for Sweden, directly or indirectly.
It is an advantage if the project provides training and information during its implementation in order to support sustainability and raise awareness of its activities.
The Foundation’s contribution must be reasonable in relation to the organization’s/project’s total costs.
It is an advantage if the project includes several components from the Foundation’s fields of activity.
