We have got in donations during 2017 from 16 European JCI National Organizations (last year until the end of EC 8) from 32 donors (26). Especially the possibility to pay monthly and raise donor levels in steps have been good news to donors. We hope to continue getting your support.

The Corporate Partners Survey document on partnerships has been uploaded to Drive (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8V6RQyqqZiUSjNUNUJUbUt3RGM) and you can still fill it and return to us for partnerships discussions on European level.

The next deadline to apply Development Grants from JCI Foundation is 13th July. The application will be filled in online at www.jci.cc/foundation and as before, lots of preparations need to be done before submitting the information. Project plan, needs analysis, objectives, budget... use Active Citizen Framework and you will manage it :) Good luck with the applications! Decisions will be made at the JCI Executive Committee's Mid-Year Meeting at the end of July.

Feel free to contact us if you need anything, we are here for you :)
