The leader check

Our Leadercheck is the small support that can make a big difference locally. We support ideas from associations that dare to think new and want to develop their activities with new legs to stand on or try something for the very first time.

Our very smallest and most flexible support

With us, non-profit associations in Western Småland can apply for the Leadercheck between 5,000 and 30,000 kronor. It is easy to apply, and the decision from us comes quickly. If it’s a yes, you can receive the full amount or parts of it, so read the decision carefully. Then it’s just to get started!

Increase your chances of support by reading through the information on this page to know what we provide support for, and what you need to include with your application.

Applications will reopen in October.

Does the idea fit?

We can provide support for:

• Ideas that contribute to new meeting places, leisure activities, or cultural activities

• Ideas in the field of environmental and climate issues. This could be ideas related to food waste, invasive species, pollinators, circular solutions like clothing swap events, or something completely different.

• Study circles, events, lectures, study visits, and shorter training sessions – simply things that can increase knowledge about something or create new networks that are needed in the community.

Ideas in the field of preparedness, which can equip the association and the community for future crises.

Important to know

This is how it goes

• You should include cost details for what you are seeking support for. This could be quotes or screenshots of prices from a website. You simply need to show how you arrived at the amounts in the budget. Keep in mind to have as few cost items as possible.

• We do not provide support for salary costs or for ongoing operating costs/regular activities. The idea must be new! It is also not possible to apply for a Leadercheck for something you have already completed by the application date.

• Your association must be able to cover the costs since you will receive the money from us after you have implemented the idea.

• If it’s a yes for a Leadercheck from us, your association can either receive the full amount you applied for or part of the amount. Read through the decision from us.
