The Foundation Ensemble has renewed its call for proposals for the year 2011 under the “Sustainable Development and Job Creation,” supporting the emergence of local microstructures and environmentally-friendly sources of employment.
As this is a Program Fund of the Foundation, covering 85% of its Annual Endowment, it covers areas of water/sanitation and sustainable development. In 2011, the Foundation intends to concentrate its operations in seven countries: Benin, Malawi, Mozambique, Cambodia, India, Laos and Peru.
The Foundation strongly encourages applicants to study previously funded projects through its website to get the idea of its granmaking processes. Projects are usually funded for a period of 2-4 years or even 5 years. The maximum funding available per year is 50,000 Euros with a maximum of 250,000 Euros for the entire project duration.
Some of the example projects funded previously include:
- 1001 Fontaines pour Demain (1001 Fountains for Tomorrow): Microenterprises for purification and sale of drinking water.
- Inter Aide Water sources: Establishment of a maintenance system for replacement parts involving distributors and repairmen.
- Entrepreneurs du Monde (Entrepreneurs of the World): Microfinance for the production and sale of improved stoves.
- Solar Aid Microenterprises for the distribution of solar products.
A 3-page application form is available at the Foundation’s website to download, complete and submit it. The deadline to submit applications is 11 February 2011. For more information, visit this link
