Grants of the European Union

EU funding will remain constant and will represent a safe haven for associations. The Financial Perspectives 2007-2013 represent a regular funding stream. EU funding provides concrete advantages compared with funds which are more exposed to market fluctuations and the financial crisis. http://ec.europa.eu/grants/index_en.htm

European Foundation Centre (EFC)

Although the EFC does not serve grantseekers directly, a pillar of its work is to provide a public record and public information service on foundations and corporate funders active in and with Europe in order to raise awareness and increase knowledge on independent funders. In an effort to assist its members in receiving more targeted, relevant applications for grants, the EFC has produced this brief guide for grantseekers on how to approach foundations and corporate funders for support.
