What challenge inspired this recipe?
We created a platform that connects volunteering projects with potential donors called get involved!
Informal group of young people can gather and do a local action in their neighborhood. It can be an event, fix up the park or a local workshop.
The local reality is best viewed through the local eyes and we want others to support their initiatives for improvements. This project consists of micro-grants for volunteers to do a certain project. Other than improvements to the local community, volunteers can learn to write projects and manage them. The grants can be small from 500 euros to a bigger amount. You can motivate your volunteers through personal projects but there are other ways like EYF pilot actions, solidarity funds, private company donations. We support the volunteers to write the grant, mentor them in the process and reporting and we do the financial administration for them.
Ingredients :
Financial aspect is the most important one.
