EU funding is in principle open to all EU organisations including NGOs, SMEs and local and regional authorities, whereas this of course depends on the thematic field in which you would like to carry out a project. In some programmes, it is possible to be awarded a grant with almost no co-financing from your part, in others you need to bring in a higher percentage from your own funds (or from other funding from non-EU sources).
The funding rules and procedures are complex, which is clearly to the disadvantage of newcomers to EU funding and to smaller organisations and companies as they often do not have enough resources to take care of the administrative steps involved and are lacking the relevant know-how to write a convincing project proposal. This is where I would like to offer my support which stems from around 20 years of professional experience within EU policy and grants. Depending on your organisation’s needs, there are different ways how we could work together.
Being specialised in Horizon Europe projects and other EU programmes under direct management of the European Commission (such as for example: LIFE Standard Action Projects; Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme CERV), I can write your grant application for you, either fully or particular parts of it. In an uncomplicated way of cooperation, to really save you time!
In close cooperation with you and your team and according to your organisation’s specific needs, I can support you in the different phases of proposal preparation.

Don’t hesitate to request a tailor-made quote for your project idea.
