03
Key conditions
The complete rule version has the same meaning in all languages.
Who can apply
Non-profit organisations, schools, institutions and initiatives. Informal groups need a legal payment partner.
Target group and region
Children and young people roughly aged 6–26 with a clear connection to Cristuru Secuiesc and the surrounding area.
Eligible costs
Materials, rooms, travel, accommodation, food, reasonable fees, small durable equipment and other direct costs.
No double funding
The same expense must not already be fully covered from another source. Co-funding is not required.
Only after approval
Eligible expenditure may only arise after the written funding decision.
Simple close-out
Close-out consists of a short activity report, approximate participant figures and simple evidence that the activity took place. RIG does not normally request or check receipts or financial supporting documents. In individual cases, it may arrange a review by the local administrative project partner.
Child protection
RIG’s child protection policy applies to every project involving minors. Project partners implement the safeguarding standards defined in that policy.
