Mini-support: Development Dalsland Årjäng Munkedal

Leader Framtidsbygder offers, within the framework of this umbrella project, targeted support in smaller amounts (max 40,000 kronor) so that organizations can have the financial opportunity to organize public benefit activities that create added value, community, and inclusion in the local community, or increase access to nature, culture, or outdoor life.

The basic idea is that new activities and meeting places should have the opportunity to grow, or that already existing events and activities should be able to be preserved.

The umbrella project is ongoing, but already several sub-projects have been able to be implemented with the help of support from Leader Framtidsbygder.
