Guidelines
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, new media and social media applications).
The grantee is responsible for securing the remaining sources of matching funding.
Expenses are paid out on a reimbursement basis. Expenses are reimbursed provided: 1) they were expended during the grant period; 2) they were in the pre-approved budget; 3) they are accompanied by proof of expenditure. This includes proof of matching funds.
If a grant request has been previously rejected, one may not resubmit for the same project.
After funding has been renewed twice for the same project, funding will be limited to 50% support from the Claims Conference.
Current Renewal Applications will be considered for up to 50% support.
Decisions on the percentage of the request funded will be based on available funding and priorities; please note that very few applications will receive the maximum percentage allowed.
Only applications with a robust evaluation component will be considered.
