How to apply for funding


Project proposals are decided upon twice a year by the Swedish Board of Directors. We need the applications no later than 25th of April and 15th of October respectively to be able to include them in this procedure.
 
There is no official form for the application. However, guidelines that describe what should be included in a proposal can be downloaded below. There is also a budget template that you can download and preferably use with the proposal. The written application, which must be in English, can be forwarded to Childhood by e-mail, fax or by regular mail.

We always send a confirmation to each application. Please make sure that you recieve this confirmation! If not, try again or contact us by phone +46 8 551 175 02
 
Childhood is presently supporting projects in 16 countries. All Childhood projects, no matter where they are situated geographically, have the goal to help children in vulnerable situations. The target groups of a project proposal must be clearly stated and defined. Childhood does not accept applications from private persons.
 
Project proposals submitted to Childhood are selected in the following way:
Childhood project staff receives and handles the application. The handling includes a dialogue with the applying party and clarification of questions that might have arisen. Before approval of an application, Childhood staff must always visit the project. The proposal is thereafter presented to our Advisory Board who, after internal discussions with Childhood staff, makes a recommendation to the Childhood Board of Directors. It is then the Board of Directors who makes the final approval. 

Childhood only accepts applications for projects in the following countries:
Belarus, Brazil, Estonia, China, Cambodia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Sweden, South Africa, Thailand, Ukraine and the United States.
