Annually, in the first months of the calendar year, the agency publishes <strong>a call for applications for voluntary project grants<\/strong>. Based on this call, Slovak organizations operating in the humanitarian and development sphere submit applications for subsidies for volunteer projects, which are either <strong>approved or not<\/strong>. Applications are evaluated by the embassies and the project and financial manager (PFM) who is responsible for volunteering projects. Evaluations of PFM have a recommendatory character. <strong>Preference is the evaluation of the members<\/strong> and decision of the committee who decide on its <strong>approval or disapproval of submitted projects<\/strong>. Subsequently, the confirmation of the projects, the proposals are sent for signature to the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic. After the Minister signs the documents, both approved and unapproved applicants are informed about the result in writing. Following the approval of the requested subsidy, <strong>the volunteers themselves are sought, prepared, and sent by Slovak organizations, which are our beneficiaries<\/strong>.
