FINANCES

  • The NELFA Budget is very tight, we even

spent too much in the past (not in terms of needs: Board members pay a large part of the costs on their own! [i.e. travel expenses, little bills etc.)

  • We need to find ways out of the

financial „limbo“ if we want to establish NELFA as an organisation on EU level – new funding possibilities?

  • POSITIVE: We were able to safe 920 €
  • ut of the Erasmus+ grant
  • NELFA members paid for COFACE fee

(500 € per year) SPECIAL THANKS GO TO: apgl (100 €), Son Nuestros Hijos (100 €), Famiglie Arcobaleno (100 €), Sateenkaariperheet (100 €) AND LSVD (100 €). A very positive sign from Germany: LSVD pays the 500 € for 2018!!!!
