Grant Analysis

Purpose & Target

This grant, 'Fighting against antisemitism' (CERV-2025-EQUAL-ANTISEMITISM), is a specific funding opportunity under the broader 'Citizens, Equality, Rights and Value Programme (CERV)'. Its core objective is to support initiatives that actively combat antisemitism. It is a SECTOR-SPECIFIC grant, focusing exclusively on actions related to fighting antisemitism within the context of EU values and strategies. The target recipients are general 'applicants', likely including civil society organizations (NGOs) and public entities, as suggested by the program's nature and required documentation. The grant is part of a recurring program, indicated by the '2025' in its identifier, and falls under a wider call for proposals to promote equality and fight discrimination.

Financial Structure

Funding Details
  • Total Budget for this Topic: The specific topic 'CERV-2025-EQUAL-ANTISEMITISM' has a total budget of 6,800,000 EUR for the year 2025.
  • Funding Type: This is an 'EU action grant' operating under a 'Lump Sum Model Grant Agreement (MGA)'. This means that funding is provided as a fixed amount (lump sum) based on the achievement of specific, predefined outputs or activities, rather than reimbursement of actual costs.
  • Grant Amounts per Project: The minimum and maximum grant amounts for individual projects are not specified in the provided materials.
Financial Management
  • Eligible/Ineligible Costs: Details on eligible and ineligible costs are not explicitly provided, as the lump sum approach focuses on deliverables rather than itemized expenditures.

  • Matching Fund Requirements: No matching fund or co-financing requirements are specified, which is typical for lump sum grants.
  • Payment Schedule & Reporting: The legal and financial set-up of the grants, including payment schedules and reporting requirements, are 'Described in section 10 of the call document'. Additional guidance is available in the 'Rules for Legal Entity Validation, LEAR Appointment and Financial Capacity Assessment' and the 'EU Grants AGA — Annotated Model Grant Agreement'.
