We believe that you know best how your place can be developed and how it can be done in the best way. At Leader Göta älv & Säveån, associations, companies and other organizations can apply for money to develop their place. Together we develop the countryside!
Before your application
Applying for a leader project is a process and we at the leader office are with you throughout the journey. Below we have collected tips and describe what the path to a leader project can look like.
There are two types of projects:
Project support – 100% support level. Projects that have a broad public benefit and that benefit many residents and those active in the locality. The applicant is often an association or a municipality, but can also be several companies in collaboration. There is no maximum budget, this is discussed with the leader office.
Project support for companies – 70% support level. This is usually where entrepreneurs who apply end up as the project often benefits the company and provides a competitive advantage. Applicants contribute 30% of the budget and the support amount is a maximum of SEK 200,000.
Whether it is a Project Support or a Project Support for Companies, we will go through all the steps below. Contact us if you have any questions – good luck!
