How do I Apply for Funding for LGBTI Projects?

Where: Forhøllin
Duration: 60 min.

Are you a project manager? Could your organisation be interested in applying for project funding that benefits LGBTI people? Would you like to collaborate with other Nordic countries?

Then join us for an informal and informative café event with the Nordic LGBTI Fund, which this year prioritises applications where the lead applicants are from the Faroe Islands, Greenland, or Åland.

You can apply for project funding ranging from DKK 50,000 to DKK 500,000. The application deadline is 2 November.

We will be visited by Deepati Forsberg, Project Coordinator at NIKK (Nordic Information on Gender), which administers both the Nordic Gender Equality Fund and the Nordic LGBTI Fund. She will explain in more detail how to apply, the prioritisation of applications and the assessment criteria, and there will also be an opportunity to talk with her and ask questions.

Café Tita will serve its popular focaccia. Please arrive when the event starts to make sure you get a taste.

The event is free of charge, and registration is not required.
