Prague/Hradec Kralove, 25 October 2005 - The results of the T-Mobile Fund grant programme have become known. Members of the evaluation committees carefully studied the applications for the grant programme which met with great interest. The evaluation committee has selected 46 winning projects from among 166 grant applications. Applicants from Prague 11 and the Hradec Kralove and Louny districts will soon receive cheques in the total value of nearly CZK 2.5 million. The official awarding of funds will take place in the T-Mobile buildings in Hradec Kralove, Louny and Prague.
"We are really pleased about the large number of people who found our programme interesting. We believe that the next round of this programme which is planned for 2006 will also meet with great interest," says Jitka Chocova, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at T-Mobile.
The evaluation committee for the Hradec Kralove region has decided that a total of 15 projects out of 76 grant applications submitted will receive financial support. The VIA foundation, which administers the T-Mobile Fund for the Hradec Kralove region, will thus distribute CZK 765,000 among the winning organizations and associations.
Financial support will be granted particularly to projects which are focused on leisure-time activities and integration of disabled children into their peers' community, sports activities for children and young people, projects for emergency shelters, and accompanying activities within the European Regions Theater festival. Financial support will also be granted to the Teaching Hospital in Hradec Kralove, namely to the Department of Children's Surgery and Traumatology.
The winning projects include not only projects submitted by non-profit organizations but also projects submitted by elementary and secondary schools. Financial support will thus be granted, for example, to the Secondary Professional Training Institution Hlusice for the project called Park Full of Life, and to the Elementary School of V. Kl. Klicpera in Novy Bydzov for the project for creating a "Green Zone".
