Applications for project support

Guidelines

A grant application must meet the following criteria:

• Projects should directly benefit blind and partially sighted people.
• Projects should be aimed at rehabilitation and/or learning to live with the disability better, i.e. not aimed at recovery.
• It should be clear from the application that financial support from usual sources is not possible.
• Individual applications will not be accepted. 
• The allocation of grants depends partially on the amount allocated annually for grants.
• It would be appreciated if the KSBS were named as the grant provider.
• Applications are considered four times a year.
