The Ministry of Defence has issued a call for submission of grant applications in 2022. The MOD has set aside 500,000 euros for impactful projects in the Defence community. In addition to civic associations, foundations, interest groupings, non-investment funds and non-profit organisations, those eligible for grants under the new arrangements are also municipalities. Grant applications close 31 March 2022.
The aim of the MOD Grant Scheme is to support the work of the NGO sector, academia and local councils, whilst using their knowledge, expertise and experience to help raise public awareness of the MOD's and Armed Forces' priorities, as well as actively supporting public debate on topics related to the security and defence of the State.
The MOD is to support projects aimed at educational events, military themed activities for young people, and sporting, cultural and social activities which can help educate Slovak citizens on patriotism, keep the public informed of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union, and train Slovak citizens for the defence of Slovakia, as well as promoting the SVK Armed Forces, catering for the cultural, spiritual and social needs of regular soldiers, reservists and veterans, and supporting top level and high performing athletes and sporting talents.
Grants are also offered for projects to facilitate the recruitment process in the SVK Armed Forces or to protect and develop cultural and historical heritage, with special focus on military history. Grants may also be awarded to cover the costs associated with participation in events organised by international organisations that work closely with armed forces, including with membership fees.
Applications for grants for projects should be linked to the MOD's 2022 priority areas. These include beefing up the readiness of inhabitants for the defence of the State; developing a modern patriotism; presenting service personnel through the eyes of the public; supporting women in defence; improving care for war veterans; preserving the memory of freedom and democracy fighters; looking after war and military memorials; building up resilience against hybrid threats; eliminating hate speech and intolerance; tackling climate change and its implications for the MOD and the Armed Forces; supporting the Slovak V4 Presidency in light of NATO's collective defence; and addressing the future of NATO and the EU.
Any further enquiries on the grants process should be sent by email to dotacie@mod.gov.sk. More detailed information on the call for submission of grant applications in 2022 can be found on the MOD's website at Žiadosti o dotácie.
