EDC grants
The JCI European Development Council backs the growth of National and Local Organisations with development grants. Each one is aimed at a different need, from getting a delegate to a European event to launching a new Local Organisation.
The grants are one of the EDC's main tools, alongside the Plan of Action, communication and the experience of its board members.
