8.2. The partner organisations ensure that all those interested in taking part in the project are financially able to do so.

The participation fee is calculated with regard to the financial situation of the participants or their families. It is verified what amount would be appropriate in order to signal that the project has value, and to increase participants’ sense of commitment. All costs to be borne by the participants are communicated open- ly to the participants ahead of the project (e.g., participation fee, spending money). All options to bring down the costs (e.g., participation fees) are explored, e.g., • lottery funds, • state-run schemes such as Germany’s Bildungs- und Teilhabe- paket, • foundations,

• crowdfunding, • bake sales, etc.

8.3. The partner organisations commit to continuing to work on the project and to obtaining the required funding.

The partner organisations provide proof of use that meets the re- quirements of funding bodies (e.g., deadline, presentation/level of detail of project outcomes, statements regarding continued cooperation). The partner organisations reach out to advisory bodies such as, e.g., Eurodesk agencies, or directly to funding bodies, in order to secure funding so the cooperation can be continued ( → see annex) .

The partner organisations make efforts to obtain third-party fund- ing (through, e.g., crowdfunding, donation drives, foundations).

The project partners invest in new (digital) equipment in order to improve the infrastructure of the projects.
