    What this call funds

    This isn't a grant for money—it's a certification process. Organisations apply to earn a 'Quality Label' that certifies they can safely and properly run humanitarian aid volunteering placements, either by supporting/preparing volunteers before and after their placement, or by hosting volunteers in non-programme countries. Holding this label is a mandatory precondition before an organisation can apply for or take part in actual Humanitarian Aid Volunteering funded projects.
