Go social with ESAA - 2nd round
You want to create positive change in your community? You have a burning idea for a social project but don’t have the funding? ESAA has now a new social projects funding scheme through which you can apply to get up to EUR 5000 to organise a social project with ESAA members in your region*!
The objective of the ESAA Social Projects funding scheme is to empower ESAA members to see their socially oriented ideas come to life. ESAA wants to support you in realising positive social change in your communities.
For detailed information please read our Application Guidelines and Internal Criteria for Evaluation. In order to apply simply fill out the Application Form and send it to the Evaluation Committee and Service Provider ESAA.
