\n

\n 9. What is the deadline for NGOs to apply?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n The deadline for submitting applications for the Grants for Volunteerism is 12 October 2026, at 16:00.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

\n 10. The application form states \u201cBudget for the last 3 years, 2023, 2024, 2025.\u201d Is it a problem if we are an organization established in 2026?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n If the organization has not had an annual turnover of more than EUR 25,000 in any of the last three years, you may apply.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n If your organization was established before 2024 and had zero turnover in any of the last three years, you must upload the financial statements submitted to the Tax Administration of Kosovo (ATK).\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

\n

\n 12. Is an age range defined for the target groups we are expected to work with?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n

\n 16. Are research activities supported if they are necessary for the implementation of the project and represent only one part of the project activities?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n

\n 18. What is the minimum project duration that we can propose?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n There is no minimum project duration. However, the project objectives, duration, and amount of support should be designed proportionally. The same applies to the minimum amount of support.

\n

\n 23. Is there a minimum or maximum number of project activities that we can propose?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Other expenses, such as rent, bank charges, office supplies, and communication costs, may be included under these costs. Salaries are not included.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

\n 25. Are salaries allowed to be included in the budget?<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n
