March 15 at 11:59 pm EST. Grant period begins no earlier than January of the following year.
Applications must be submitted in English on the Fluxx grant portal.
The online submission form will become available 4–6 weeks before the application deadline. Start completing the application as early as possible. The application is extensive, and the portal will close at the deadline.
The process from the application deadline to notification of a decision takes approximately 10 months. The Claims Conference will make every effort to notify grantees of their award in December prior to the January start date of the project.
The funding process is competitive. Not all projects will be awarded funding, and projects may be awarded less funding than requested. Clear project goals and a strong evaluation component are required.
Projects must be about the persecution of Jews by the Nazis and/or their collaborators, or its consequences.
The Claims Conference does not accept applications from individuals, only from registered non-profit organizations and research institutions (exceptions for film and new media applications).
All projects funded by the Claims Conference require matching funds. The grantee is responsible for securing the remaining sources of matching funding.
The Claims Conference provides funding on a reimbursement basis only. Advance payments are not provided.
Once funding is awarded, the Claims Conference will approve a project budget indicating expenses eligible for reimbursement. Payments are made upon review and approval of required reporting, including proof of expenditures paid during the grant period. This is required for Claims Conference funds as well as matching funds.
If an application was denied funding in the past, the Claims Conference will not consider a resubmission of the same proposal.
