Process Timeline and Deadlines

Applications:
From this point forward, only online applications will be accepted with a submission deadline on 01 July for projects taking place the following year. Please note that some projects are not concerned by this deadline and are open for application throughout the year. These projects are:

• Biosecurity Education Programme
• National Federation's IT Platform

Revisions and Notifications:
After the revision by the FEI Solidarity Department and Committee, a notification will be sent to the National Federation to inform them whether each project has been accepted or declined. This notification letter will be sent in October.

Financing procedure for projects:
The year of activity is defined as 01 January to 31 December. The “Letter of Agreement” must be signed by 31 December of the year preceding the year of the project start date.The first payment will occur upon receipt of the signed "Letter of Agreement" between the National Federation and the FEI and the activity plan fully completed, mentioning the dates of the event/training/workshop/course, etc. For short and long-term projects (2-4 years), subsequent payments will be made upon receipt of the year 1 activity and financial reports by 31 December (refer to the Evaluation Form), and similarly for year 3 and 4 payments, if applicable.

Evaluation:
At the end of each project year, FEI Solidarity must receive an activity report and financial statement referred to as the Evaluation Form. Only National Federations that submit their financial report by the deadline of 31 December will be considered for future financial assistance. FEI Solidarity reserves the right to follow up on the project and request reports and/or supporting documents, such as proof of payment made by the National Federation to relevant beneficiaries. If a National Federation is unable to carry out a project for which it has received assistance, it must inform the FEI Solidarity Department immediately!

• For one-time projects (duration 1 year): At the end of the project, the National Federation must provide FEI Solidarity with an activity report and financial statement (Evaluation form).
• For short-term and long-term projects (duration 2-4 years): At the end of each year, the National Federation (or continental association) must provide FEI Solidarity with an activity report and financial statement (Evaluation form).
