bidragsguider

Bidragsguider are policy documents that describe how contributions to a program, project, or organization should be provided or received, typically in the form of grants, subsidies, or in-kind support. They define the scope of support, types of eligible contributions, and the rules governing eligibility to ensure transparency and fairness in resource allocation.

These guides are usually issued by government agencies, foundations, municipalities, universities, or nonprofits. They set out who can apply, which contributions are allowed (money, equipment, services, or personnel time), and the submission process, including deadlines and required documentation. They also outline evaluation criteria, decision timelines, and expectations for reporting, monitoring, and accountability.

Common content includes objectives and expected outcomes, funding limits, co-financing requirements, and thematic priorities. It also covers compliance with legal and ethical standards, data protection, conflicts of interest, and intellectual property considerations. Many guides provide templates for applications, budgets, and progress reports, as well as contact points and procedures for appeals.

Development and governance involve program staff and oversight boards who draft, review, and approve updates. Bidragsguider are periodically revised to reflect policy changes, budget realities, or stakeholder feedback and are published on official portals with version history. In practice, they serve to promote consistency, fairness, and traceability in grant-making and related support processes.
