Through our funding scheme, the Nordic Welfare Centre distributes around SEK 1.5 million every year in order to promote cooperation between organisations of people with disabilities in the Nordic and Baltic region.

Who can apply?

• National organizations, associations and groups, or networks of national organizations of persons with disabilities or chronic diseases.
• Foundations that have the same purpose and similar activities may, in some cases, qualify as applicants.

A single stakeholder must be formally responsible for the application. This stakeholder must be resident in the Nordic region or a Baltic State.

Funding

The activities shall contribute to Nordic benefit and added value by providing participants with a larger Nordic network of contacts and by promoting organisational and knowledge development.

Activities eligible for funding:

Network activities:

• Meetings between leaders or other representatives of national disability organisations
• Start-up meetings or gatherings to explore opportunities for Nordic or Nordic-Baltic networks

Supplementary project activities:

• Additional activities with an interest group perspective, such as seminars or training courses
• Information material, methodological material, reports or digital products
• In some cases e.g. camp activities for children and youth

The network activities and project activities must involve partners and participants from at least three countries. At least two of the countries must be Nordic.
