What is the Seed Money Facility?
Seed Money Facility (SMF) is a funding opportunity provided by the Danube Transnational Programme to support the development of projects in line with the 12 Priority Areas of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region. With Seed Money support, projects can be prepared for further funding source, regardless the financial instrument to be addressed by the project developed, be it national, mainstream EU, transnational or cross border or by any other public or private investor (such as IFIs) or public-private partnership.
The developed projects must be:
Complex – projects which are comprehensive of different actions/activities meant to address wide scopes;
Strategic – relevant for the Danube area, where the relevance is linked to core needs expressed by the Danube countries and endorsed by the Monitoring Committee;
Transnational – the effect of the project should go beyond the local/national need and address the wider Danube area in a macro-regional approach.
