Deadline: 31-Mar-21
The Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) under the Nordic Council of Ministers is seeking applications for its Nordic Gender Equality Fund 2021 to stimulate Nordic co-operation in the area of gender equality within the framework of the Gender Equality ministers’ co-operation programme and its priorities.
Nordic Benefit
This means the extent to which the project:
- Generates significant positive effects through Nordic co-operation, compared to the project having been implemented at the national level
- Manifests and develops Nordic cohesion, both within and outside the region
- Contributes new infrastructure that strengthens Nordic co-operation on gender equality
- Responds in a constructive way to the challenges of Nordic co-operation such as national barriers and differences.
Funding Information
- Organisations applying for funding need to be able to contribute at least 20 per cent themselves and/or have other sources of funding. The organisation’s own contribution and/or other sources of funding could come from sponsorship or other financial contributions, voluntary work, participant fees, or indirect costs for example.
- The amount applied for should be between DKK 50,000 and DKK 500,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Gender Equality Fund addresses a broad target group and calls for proposals are open to a variety of activities and organisations including:
- Volunteer organisations (citizen organisations/not-for-profit organisations)
- Networks
- Government agencies and other public sector activities (such as municipalities, university departments, divisions, etc.)
- Other non-commercial actors
- Business enterprises (SMEs).
- Each project must involve at least the three Nordic countries, where the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Aaland Islands may constitute one of these only. In addition, funding may be granted to activities involving co-operation in the neighbouring regions, i.e. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia, where at least two Nordic countries are participating. The principal applicant should come from a Nordic country or the Faroe Islands, Greenland, or the Aaland Islands.
Limitations
Funding will not be granted for:
- Activities already financed wholly or in part by Nordic Council of Ministers for Gender Equality (MR-JÄM), or the Nordic Council of Ministers
- Activities that submit a budget in a currency other than DKK
- Applications submitted after the deadline
- Activities that submit an incomplete application (all mandatory fields not filled in or applications without the requisite attached documentation)
- Political party organisations
- Private individuals
- Activities whose purpose is to generate a profit or equivalent for the funding beneficiary.
