To achieve the desired objectives, this year Telecentre-Europe is organizing a grant scheme available to all Get Online Week national partners, where partners can get 2.500 EUR for reaching the targets described below.

Who can be a grantee?

Only formal member organizations of Telecentre-Europe AISBL who are registered as national partners of the Get online week 2012 campaign are the potential beneficiaries for the grants, which are conditional on reaching the expected targets.

How much are the grants?

A Get Online Week 2012′s grant consists of 2.500 EUR. The grant will be paid up-front, based on a sponsorship contract between Telecentre-Europe AISBL and the national partner.

How to participate?

Once your organization is approved as Get online week 2012 national partner, it will automatically become a potential grantee. Here’s what you have to do in order to get a grant:

» Download the sponsorship contract
» Read carefully and if any queries arise, please contact laurentiu.bunescu@telecentre-europe.org
» Pay special attention to the targets mentioned in the contract, see if they are realistic for your organization. Again, if any queries, contact us.
» Upon thorough review of the contract, you can now sign (and stamp, where available) the contract and send it back to us (a scanned electronic version via email, and the hard copy to our office: Rue de Meridien, 30, B1210, Brussels, Belgium).
