NGO Block Grant

A block grant is a fund, set up for a clearly defined purpose and may provide assistance to individuals, organizations or institutions. Block grants are intended to facilitate activities where each sub-project or final beneficiary is too small to be identified a priori or to be administered cost-effectively on an individual basis.

The block grant is a fund of non-recoverable financial support, which is designated to finance sub- projects prepared by final beneficiaries and to cover the block grant management costs incurred by the Intermediate Body. The Intermediate Body of the block grant is responsible for the management of the block grant and for the monitoring of the implementation of sub-projects.

There will be one Block Grant in Lithuania financed under the Lithuanian – Swiss Cooperation Programme – NGO Fund (Intermediary – Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania).
