Taipei, May 7 (CNA) Non-profit organizations will be able to bid for funding support from the British Trade and Cultural Office (BTCO) for Taiwan-based projects under the theme of climate change and human rights protection, BTCO said in a press release Monday.
Priority will be given to projects that take a strategic approach to both of these areas, and which are likely to make a sustained difference. Projects must be completed by March 2008, and preference will be given to projects that are scheduled for completion by December this year, BTCO said.
"This is the first year that we have used open competition to invite bids for project work. We plan to use the projects to strengthen our ties with non-profit organizations and to promote our objectives of increasing awareness of climate change and driving progress towards a low-carbon economy here in Taiwan, " said BTCO Director Michael Reilly.
Funding of up to NT$ 300,000 per project is available. The deadline for applications is May 30.
