New Grant-Making Guidelines for Charity Know How

Charity Know How (CKH) was set up in 1991 to help revitalise civil
society in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Former Soviet
Union (FSU) through the funding of skill-sharing partnership projects
between British NGOs and organisations of those regions. Since 1991,
CKH has supported more than 2,500 such projects, making awards
totalling in excess of 3 million.

We continue to provide small grants (up to 15,000) for skill-sharing
partnerships between NGOs: eligible organisations may be formal and
informal voluntary and non-profit organisations, or any group or
organisation which, under British law, is considered to have
charitable purposes.   Projects should contain a significant element
of transfer of know-how, and can include training programmes for NGO
staff and volunteers, professional advice and study visits.

We are unable to fund applications from individuals, the preparation
of funding proposals or applications, the teaching of English as a
foreign language or other student programmes, any building or capital
costs, the costs of transporting humanitarian aid or medical
equipment, the costs of offices, salaries or equipment (including fax
machines and other communications
equipment), or youth, artistic or cultural exchanges.

We have recently made some changes to our guidelines by introducing
target regions for our general grants programme.  Applications to the
general programme must now include as principal beneficiary an NGO in
at least one of the countries in the four target regions listed
below. 

 Balkans and Carpathians
Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,  Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, Macedonia (FYROM), Romania, Slovakia

 Caucasus
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia

 Central Asia
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan

 Western CIS
Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine

NGOs from other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, (ie Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia) may
apply as part of an application involving at least one NGO from one
of these countries.

Please note that there are no geographical restrictions or special
conditions on work within the countries of the target regions.

In addition to the General Programme, we have also introduced two
pilot programmes, Partnership Development Grants and Global Grants,
which are aimed at organisations working further afield.

NB:  The application form has also been slightly modified in keeping
with these changes.  Updated guidelines and application forms are now
available from the CKH office.  The next deadline for receipt of
completed application forms is Tuesday 23 January 2000.  Applications
under the old guidelines and made on the old application form will
not be accepted after that date.

If you would like any further details, or a copy of the updated
guidelines and an application form, please contact
