Use Funding to Innovate Your Community
The pandemic has made community life difficult. Fortunately, there is government & EU funding for recovery projects available.
A user-friendly online tool can revive your community. We can guide you from applying for funds to user training, as a partner on the project.
Situation in the
Pandemic-Affected World
Crisis Evolution
With the pandemic waves, every advanced economy entered the economic recession and as a consequence, a persistent social crisis is expected.
The Recovery
Governments are committed to mitigating the crisis and supporting the recovery, but need bottom-up initiatives of local communities.
The Disconnect
The funding mechanisms have still potential left, especially due to lack of engagement, innovation, project knowledge and effective networking.
Challenges for NGOs
funding opportunities
Funding, covering many areas of local community development, is available at all levels of government.
Project Ideas
Organisations may not have project ideas fitting the funding opportunities and may lack the needed skills, knowledge or partners.
Disconnected Projects
Their projects are small, isolated and lack bigger picture, international connectedness and continuity.
Our Solution
Connect
& Share
Sharing practical knowledge among members and collaborating are the most effective ways of developing communities. If people can find and use ideas, practical instructions, documents and discuss, they feel connected and motivated to be involved.

Digital Platforms
Digital platforms (like Facebook, AirBnB, Booking.com) are powerful tools for their purpose. Now, any type of community can setup a similar tool for its development and growth.
The organisations that implement a digital knowledge sharing platform establish themselves as the long-term leader in their community, central to all new development projects. Learn what a digital platform can do below!
