III. Project description
Global Challenges Local Solutions European Grant Competition was established in order to support grass-root initiatives, run by community foundations and local philanthropic organizations together with local communities, aimed at solving global challenges at the local level.
Specifically, global challenges described in 17 Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs (all the Goals are listed below).
With the good practices collected over the six grant rounds, we have proved that solving global challenges at the local level can be performed very successfully. Actually, today we know, that global challenges will not be achieved without the involvement of local initiatives, actions and local stakeholders – community foundations, organizations, authorities, business, etc. So, the overarching goal now is to promote, communicate, educate and implement successful diversified actions in order to raise the awareness on the Agenda for the SDGs within local communities, and encourage to undertake regular actions driven by the SDGs spirit.
In the 7th GCLS Grant Round, we are opening a CALL for ONLY such projects, which mainly focus on activities aimed at communicating and promoting the Sustainable Development Goals within the community and local stakeholders – organizations, authorities, businesses, etc. It can refer to:
- all 17 SDGs, as the Agenda or
- selected SDGs, related to the specificities and needs of a given community.
These projects may include tasks for Community Foundations such as:
- organization of educational seminars, thematic competitions, debates on concepts and strategies allowing to implement the SDGS’ global idea on the local ground;
- preparation and launch of a communication program for local stakeholders – local government, media, organizations, etc. – about SDGs, being an inseparable element of all undertaken actions;
- development of strategies including long-term actions driven by the spirit of SDGs and e.g. consultations with the environment.
The project proposal has to include concrete information about actual plans and actions to raise awareness on SDGs within the community, and confirm that the applicant – a Community Foundation – permanently integrates SDGs promotion into its activities.
It will be welcomed to see CFs issuing an official statement – e.g. a resolution, a manifesto – that the CF acts for the 17 SDGs and encourages local partners to collaborate with the spirit of SDGs (this is already the implementation of SDG #17).
