Our grants
Grant criteria Overview
WHO CAN APPLY: Local non-profit organisations, associations, clubs or unions, social cooperative enterprises and/or other local bodies, including research centres, are all welcome to apply for DIEF grants.
Non-local applicants already active in the area, or experts, may also be eligible for grants and strategic partnerships if they prove that they can offer capacity building to the locals and/or tangible impact through their work on the ground.
DIEF will support the development of cutting-edge projects, by building capacity through proper training, equipment and facilitation, leveraging local specialists and developing new partnerships.
WHAT: Applications for funding from the DIEF should fit into one of the Foundation’s key focus areas.
The proposed projects shall be clear and compelling, with the objective to create measurable and sustainable long-term results, build capacity and encourage participation by the local community.
Ideally, the proposed activities shall be sufficiently visible to leverage additional support from other funding sources.
WHERE: DIEF encourages the implementation of projects across the entire Dalmatian archipelago. Projects with opportunities for replicability, to amplify their impact, will be prioritised.

All applicants need to complete and submit our application form. In case of approval by the DIEF’s Steering Committee, the grantee will need to sign a Grant Agreement with specific terms of the collaboration.
