EO Metterdaad

Cooperation with EO-Metterdaad

In 2006 EO-Metterdaad signed a contract with Kerk in Actie, EZA (Evangelical Missionary Alliance) and Prisma. These three (umbrella[1]) organizations represent a vast part of the Dutch Christian organizations active in relief and rehabilitation.

The collaboration between EO Metterdaad and the three organizations connects knowledge and relationships of Christian aid and mission to the media expertise of the EO and vice versa. The main goal of this collaboration is fundraising, information exchange and awareness raising.

Each week the TV-program Nederland Helpt broadcasts an aid project that is related to one of the three organizations. The funds that are raised will be transferred to the involved organizations and to the partners.

Selection of the TV-media project

Dutch organizations can hand in proposals for a TV media project through their (umbrella) organization. A proposal format is available and can be downloaded from the Prisma library. EO Metterdaad will assess this proposal having as main criteria its appropriateness for broadcasting. Once approved Prisma will assess the quality of the project on basis of a more detailed project proposal submitted by the applicant.

Application of proposals for funding

Part of the funds will go directly to the broadcasted project. Another part will be spent on projects with similar objectives and in similar regions as the broadcasted project. These projects have to match with the theme and objectives of the broadcasted project. In addition, these projects need to work in the same region as the broadcasted project.

Current projects are only presented on the Dutch part of this website. All applications need to be channeled through the Dutch counterpart. EO Metterdaad accepts no other forms of application.
