Community financing of an E. V. S project is based on the principle of
co-funding, with other public and/or private contributions. The total project
cost cannot be covered by YOUTH alone. This means that contributions, in kind or
in cash, from the sending and host organizations are necessary to cover the
total cost of the project. The Community grant will cover some specific costs
and contribute to the activity costs of the sending and host organizations.
 |
Except for volunteers' travel, allowance and exceptional costs, the Community
contribution to activities is not directly linked to any specific costs and
consists of fixed amounts and flat rates which do not have to be accounted for
or justified. The maximum fixed amounts and flat rates are indicated in section
D.12, but might vary depending on the Program country. The organizations can
use the Community contribution as they see fit, as long as they fulfill the
obligations set out in the tables in section D.12. |
Community financing is available for sending organizations, host organizations
and, in some cases, coordinating organizations.

Exceptional costs
The Community grant may cover exceptional volunteer costs, if necessary and
justified. Exceptional costs are related to volunteers' special needs (medical
attendance, additional preparation, special premises, additional accompanying
person, etc.) and are paid in full, provided they are clearly linked to the
implementation of the E. V. S project.
|
All exceptional costs must be actual costs, properly supported and justifiable.
