1 Belgian Charities Briefing Book 2016 FOR NCB MEMBERS ONLY NATO Charity Bazaar ASBL: Avenue Victor Gilsoul 1, 1200 Woluwe Saint Lambert - Belgium

2 Briefing Book 2016 BELGIAN CHARITIES Page 2 OVERVIEW In order to familiarize you with the selection process of the charities in consideration for funding for 2016, we ve put together this overview. This year we received 12 Belgian charity applications for funding. Five applications were rejected because they were not eligible based on the criteria stated (see below) and one will apply next year. This results in 06 eligible Belgian applications. The Charity Committee and the Board have spent many hours reviewing every application to make sure each charity put before the members has qualified, based on the voted upon selection criteria. Firstly, the committee made sure the application arrived by the due date and was complete. Factors taken into account when selecting charities for donation: The request should be for a specific project. The charity should be a non-profit organization officially registered (ASBL or VZW if located in Belgium) for at least one year. If benefiting organizations receive funds for a project from the proceeds of a specific Bazaar, two complete calendar years must pass from the date of that Bazaar, before the same organization may reapply to the NCB (for example, an organization that has benefited from funds raised at the 2015 Bazaar can next apply in 2018). Application forms must be complete. All questions and requests for explanation should be addressed. To be considered a Belgian charity, the organization must be situated in Belgium. Projects should have a long term impact and be of benefit to as many people as possible. Projects should be completed within one year of the receipt of funding. Projects should benefit NATO countries, NATO PfP countries, and countries where NATO is currently engaged for example in Afghanistan but without excluding projects from other geographic locations. Staff salaries and administration costs are not funded. The maximum amount donated is Euros. After reviewing all the charities, the Committee have put together the list of eligible candidates presented in the PRE-Briefing Book ed to the Members. The content of the PRE-Briefing Book was compiled from the information the charities provided on their funding application. The Charity Vote was blind. For that reason we have now put together the Briefing Books with project names and pictures. You will see that sometimes the amount proposed is different from the amount requested. If in reviewing the requested budget of the project we saw that we could donate a smaller amount than requested and still fund an integral part of the project, we proposed the smaller amount.
