About the volunteering opportunity

Our association is financed by donations and increasingly by funding programs from the public sector and private or public foundations. In order to be able to use such funds for the association, we have to identify appropriate organizations and programs, establish contact and write grant applications.

Your Tasks

To strengthen our financing team, we are looking for people who can help us with the following tasks:

  • Search for appropriate funding opportunities for the association
    (e.g. public funding programs, foundations, competitions, etc.)

  • Reviewing program and competition guidelines to select appropriate funding programs

  • Selection of programs that are thematically suitable for the association

  • Participation in the application process, e.g. preparation of application texts, effort estimates, preparation of financial plans, processing of funding requests in the team of active persons, etc.

  • Maintaining internet portals of corresponding funding organizations for our association, e.g. setting up association accounts, registration, compiling information material about the association, etc.

You can choose between one or more activities.
