The Program Executive Committee decided to award funding to two proposals from the waiting list and to award two large grants under area 3. Updated results of the call can be found here.

As a result of additional funds made available under area 3, the Program Executive Committee decided to award two additional large grants in area 3 and finance the following projects from the waiting list in the Lower Silesian Voivodship:

• Proposal no. K1d/0370 submitted by the Foundation for European Studies,
• Proposal no. K1d/0602 submitted by the “Etna” Ecological Association.
  
  

308 applications for large grants and 356 applications for small grants met eligibility criteria and were sent for content-related evaluation. Taking into account the last decision of the Executive Committee, we have awarded grants for the implementation of 174 projects: 98 large ones and 76 small ones. 8 large grants and 7 small ones are on the waiting list.

The projects from the waiting lists can be awarded funding if a grant contract is not signed for one of the approved projects from the main list. The projects from the waiting lists will be chosen within the given area of support. To determine the order of awarding funding to the waiting list, the following will be taken into consideration: first, the amount of funding made available by a contract not being signed within a given area of support (to see if it is possible to fund an entire project), then, the score received by the application, and finally, the use of funds under regional allocations. Decisions regarding the implementation of projects from the waiting list will be made until the end of 2021.

The total amount of funding awarded for project activities is 9 832 596.97 EUR. This includes 2 818 468.86 EUR awarded for projects under Area 1: Human rights protection, 2 912 170.27 EUR for projects under Area 2: Promoting social diversity and preventing exclusion and 4 101 957.84 EUR under Area 3: Building democratic culture and civic engagement at local level.

Additionally, 1 022 279.09 EUR was awarded for the implementation of capacity-building plans (Area 4: Supporting the development of civic sector), and a further 610 091.87 EUR was set aside for grantees whose capacity-building plans require modifications.

The decision on awarding the grants is based on expert evaluations (score) as well as the amounts allocated for grants under thematic and geographical areas. The scores and evaluation sheets can be found in the Electronic Grant Application and Management System (EGAMS).
