Applications are made in the Swedish Board of Agriculture's E-service no later than October 15. Leader Gute's board then decides on the prioritization of received applications on December 9. Thereafter, the Swedish Board of Agriculture makes a decision on support.
Project support is for larger development projects with broad support and benefits in one or more areas in Gotland's rural areas.
Organizations or companies applying for project support must have significant implementation capacity as well as liquidity that covers approximately 45% of the project cost.
Open House meetings
Leader Gute organizes Open House meetings where we inform about our support and particularly assist those who wish to apply for the larger Project Support.
This autumn's Open House meetings will take place as follows:
• September 11 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. In the conference room at Gotland Green Center, Roma (above the restaurant) – for anyone who wants general information about all Leader Gute's support (Project Support and Support for mini-projects).
• September 18 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. At Leader Gute's office at Gotland Green Center, Roma – specifically for those who want to apply for Project Support. The meeting focuses on how to write a checklist and how Leader Gute's board assesses the application.
• October 8 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. At Leader Gute's office at Gotland Green Center, Roma – for those who want to apply for Project Support with a focus on how the application is entered into the Swedish Board of Agriculture's E-service.
NOTE! The number of places for the meetings is limited. First come, first served. Register for participation no later than one week before the relevant meeting to info@leadergute.se

Project support can be applied for within three categories
Since May 2024, Project Support can be applied for within three different categories:
• General Project Support within Leader Gute's three intervention areas; ”Sustainable entrepreneurship,” ”Living and residing on the whole island,” and ”Accelerating climate and energy transition.” General Project Support varies according to need up to approximately one million kronor.
• Feasibility studies for projects within ”New co-creative meeting places” and ”Environmental projects.” These feasibility study supports are intended to provide a basis for implementation projects with activities. A project can apply for a maximum of 200,000 kronor.
(For General Project Support and Feasibility Studies, there are currently 4.6 million kronor left to distribute in this program period).
• Calls for proposals within ”New co-creative meeting places” and ”Environmental projects.” The majority of the project budget in these calls should go to activities. For these two calls, 2 million kronor each has been allocated, and support of up to 500,000 kronor can be applied for per project.
