SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WITHIN THE SIXTH EDITION OF THE T-MOBILE MLUVME SPOLU PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED, WILL RECEIVE NEARLY TWO MILLION CZECH CROWNS

Prague, 11 September 2018 – In this year’s sixth edition of the MLUVME SPOLU (“Let’s Talk to Each Other”) grant programme, T-Mobile will provide nearly two million Czech crowns to support a total of 25 projects. The aim of all successful applicants is to tackle specific problems in their local communities and contribute to the improvement of the areas in which they live by involving also disadvantaged groups of people into their projects. Through the MLUVME SPOLU programme, T-Mobile has already supported 858 projects by providing financial aid in the amount CZK 62.2 million.

Successful applicants will receive nearly two million Czech crowns

A total of 136 applications were submitted in this year’s edition of the T-Mobile MLUVME SPOLU grant programme. As in the previous year, the largest number of applications were from Prague (49) and the Central Bohemia (19), South Moravia (11) and Moravia-Silesia (11) regions. Conversely, the least interest was from the Liberec region. T-Mobile will support 25 projects of both non-profit organisations (16) and local communities (6). A total of CZK 1,914,583 will be distributed among the grant recipients. Non-profit organisations, local communities and informal groups could receive up to CZK 100,000 to support the implementation of their projects. The grants are aimed at improving communication in various associations, groups and communities, improving the situation in specific areas of different regions and addressing the problem of cooperation and integration of different groups.

Experts helped with more than 130 applications

“We carefully went through all received applications with the VIA Foundation, our expert partner, to verify whether the projects met all the necessary conditions,” says Eva Karasová, CSR Manager at T-Mobile. The evaluation criteria included the applicant’s motivation, the focus and impact of the given project, its benefit for the community as well as its transparency and sustainability. The themes of the projects registered in the programme this year are very broad, ranging from projects supporting the inclusion of people with different forms of disabilities into mainstream society, building community gardens or places where people can meet, nature trails and support for leisure activities of all generations. The grant recipients now have until 31 October 2019 to implement their projects.

Anybody can submit their application in the MLUVME SPOLU grant programme

The purpose of the grant programme is not only to facilitate the implementation of specific projects, but also to raise awareness of the work of non-profit organisations, local communities and informal groups among people in their surroundings. If people believe that there is something lacking in their community or if a particular activity or project does not receive sufficient funding and attention, they can themselves submit an application to receive aid for a project which, in their opinion, deserves to be supported.
