Checks for
social sustainability

Support for initiatives for gender equality, inclusion and well-being!

What can you apply for support for?

Support can be sought for development efforts that increase competence and/or improve work around:

  • Inclusion
  • Equality
  • Well-being, either physically or mentally.

Who can apply and how much support can you receive?

The support can be applied for by all types of organizations, and the support is a maximum of SEK 60,000 per check.

Something else to think about!

• The initiative will be implemented mainly in the Leader area (i.e. within the municipalities of Gällivare, Jokkmokk and/or Överkalix)
• The benefit should accrue to a wider public.
• The sub-activity must demonstrate that all people have the same opportunities to participate in the implementation, regardless of ethnic and cultural background, gender identity or expression, religion or other belief, disability, age and sexual orientation, i.e. that no one is excluded from the sub-activity on unreasonable grounds.
• The project duration may be a maximum of 6 months.
• You may not begin the project until you have received a decision on your application.
• You cannot apply for support for regular operations or for activities that can be carried out even without the support.
• You cannot apply for support as co-financing for a larger project.
• The organization must be able to cover 50% of the costs until the project is completed.

• An organization may not apply for multiple checks at the same time. The delimitation is made by the Leader office processing a new application only after a final report has been received regarding the previous check.

When is a decision made?

We are accepting applications on an ongoing basis, and decisions are normally made within 1-2 months from the time the application is complete. However, at the moment the processing time may be a little longer than normal, please contact us for more information.

If there are more applications than can be processed during one meeting, they will be prioritized in the order in which they were received in full by the Leader office. A complete application means that all questions have been answered in the application, a correct budget has been prepared and that it is signed by an authorized signatory.

How do we proceed?

If you are unsure whether your idea can be implemented with this support, please contact Nina at the leader office first.

After that, you fill out an application form and a budget. You email these to the leader office. If any additions or clarifications need to be made to the application, you will receive feedback about it.

When your application is complete (i.e. all questions in the application are answered, a correct budget is attached and the application is signed), it will be queued for the decision-making group.
