Let's keep the fund going.
Next Access Fund is a transnational fund involving both private and institutional donors. Starting where national welfare state labour market instruments fall short in terms of duration or target groups we are addressing labour shortages in specific industries across Europe (e.g. in the field of elderly care, IT services). By scaling successful voucher models across countries we are also enhancing the labour mobility within Europe.
Sustainable quality of life
by integrating unemployed people into society as well as into the labour market
Driving Innovation
by exploring various voucher models in different countries
Generating impact
by combining public and private resources more effectively than existing labour market instruments
Scaling impact
by drawing from shared transnational experiences and learnings
Are you an institutional donor such as a foundation or a company?
Your donation goes directly to the program you have chosen or to the fund in general. In the latter case the donation is divided equally between the different programs. Apart from bank charges your money is to 100% used for the Voucher payments. There are no administration or organization costs that lower your impact.
