Guidelines for applications in DUF's Local Association pool

§ 1 Purpose

1) The purpose of the local association pool is to strengthen the local associations'
targeted voluntary work for children and young people throughout the country.

§ 2 Who can apply for the pool?

1) All local associations under DUF's member organizations and
observer organizations based in Denmark and South Schleswig can apply for the
pool. Associations in Greenland and the Faroe Islands cannot apply for the pool.

2) Local associations across DUF's member organizations and

observer organizations can apply together. Local associations under the same member
organization or observer organization can apply together.
If several local associations apply jointly, one local association must be listed as
responsible.

3) DUF informs the member organizations twice a year about any grants to local associations.

4) As a starting point, a local association is understood as the outermost link in the

national organization's structure.

§ 3 The overall basis of the local association pool

1) The funds must be distributed widely throughout the country. DUF prioritizes support
local associations in geographical areas that have received support from the pool to a
significantly lesser extent than other areas.

2) The funds must be used for many types of purposes. DUF prioritizes supporting applications
that have a purpose that has received support from the pool to a significantly lesser extent
than others.

3) The funds must be used in many associations rather than a few. DUF prioritizes supporting
local associations that have received support from the pool to a lesser extent than others.

4) The funds must be allocated to varied types of association, so that there is a prioritization
of local associations from national organizations that have received the least amount of
funding before others.

5) DUF takes an ongoing position on the distribution of the funds between the
application rounds.

6) DUF continuously prioritizes between the above criteria in order to

create balance.

§ 4 What can you as a local association apply for?

associations in the meeting with children and young people in the local area, including
strengthening the building and development of associations in accordance with the purpose
of the pool

2) Reasonable and necessary procurement of materials and facilities that strengthen local
associations in the meeting with children and young people in the local area,
including strengthening the building and development of associations in
accordance with the purpose of the pool.

3) Free purchase of voluntary members for use in support of activities

according to no. 1 can at most amount to 10 hours per week, over a 2-month period, at a

1) You can apply for up to DKK 50,000 per application.

a. If two or more local associations apply together, up to DKK 75,000 per application.

the size of the pool and appropriate distribution and use of the funds.

§ 6 How to apply
1) Applications for the pool can only be made online using the application form on DUF's website.
DUF's secretariat can in special cases dispense with this in the case of technical
problems etc.

Applications over DKK 15,000 are processed by the committee 6 times a year.

The number can be reduced if the consumption in the pool has meant that fewer
application rounds, after a specific assessment, are deemed relevant. The deadlines are
published on DUF's website.

3) In order to be processed, the application must, as a minimum, contain

the following information:

a. Contact person

b. Brief description of the activity/project/procurement, including a timetable,

which must not extend beyond the present
calendar year.

c. Budget

d. The local association's NemKonto, since no payments are made to

private accounts.

e. The local association's CVR number.

§ 7 This is how DUF processes your application

1) Applications of over DKK 15,000 are processed by the grants committee for
the local association pool at the first meeting after the application deadline.

2) Applications of DKK 15,000 or less are processed administratively

so that, as a rule, answers can be communicated no later than 5 weeks after
receipt. These applications can be submitted continuously. Matters of a principled nature
are dealt with in the appropriations committee. The applicant will be informed of this as
soon as possible.

3) After case processing, the application can either be granted, partially

accepted or rejected.

4) In connection with the case processing, DUF may request additional information in
order to process the application. The processing of an application can be postponed
to a later meeting or time if DUF considers that the matter is not sufficiently informed.

5) If applicable profit, the excess amount must be repaid, unless the amount amounts to less
than DKK 1,000 and the use of the funds for another similar purpose is approved by
DUF upon written request. The repayment can amount to a maximum of the granted
amount.

§ 8 How you report

1) The grant recipient must submit a report no later than one month after the end of the
project period. In the report, the grant recipient must:

a. briefly describe the project/activity.

b. declare how much of the grant has been used and how much, if any, must be
repaid.
c. declare that the grant has been used in accordance with

the application and these guidelines.

year in which the grant-triggering project or the grant-triggering activity is
completed, and forward the material on request

3) Random checks are carried out on disbursed funds. At DUF's request, the grant recipient is
obliged to send accounts and relevant annexes within a reasonable period set by DUF.

partial repayment of the support.

association pool.
