Implement a project

You can apply for a partial payment at any time after you have received your decision on support and have incurred expenses for the project.

We advise everyone to apply for payment within two months of the project and then continuously throughout the project period. You apply for partial payments via My pages on Swedish Board of Agriculture website. The Swedish Board of Agriculture's website also provides support and a guide for how the e-service works.

Be careful with payment receipts
In addition to invoice copies, you also need proof of payment showing that the payments have been made. You can download a proof of payment from the internet bank, often by clicking on “Historical payments” or similar. The proof of payment should state the following:

• Payment date
• Amount paid
• Sender (which account the money was deducted from)
• Recipient (that the payment went to the same Plusgiro, Bankgiro or account number that is on the invoice)
• That the payment has been completed. “Immediate payment” is not considered a completed payment.

Make it easier to report your volunteer time by writing down your hours continuously throughout the project. You will be credited for your time from the day your application was received via My pages on the Swedish Board of Agriculture website.

Time reporting forms are available on the page Forms and logos but it is perfectly fine to create your own lists in Excel, for example. The important thing is that it is clear who has done something, when it was done and what has been done. The lists also need to contain contact information, such as phone numbers, for those who have contributed with voluntary work.

We will follow up on the volunteer time in connection with project visits and a summary will be emailed to your contact at the development office at the final report.

• Read the decision carefully. Follow the conditions, the decided project plan and budget. If you deviate from the project plan and your decision, you risk not receiving the money you have applied for. Only the expenses stated in the decision give you the right to support.
• Be careful with the logos. Make sure that the correct logos are included on all materials. Failure to do so may result in deductions. We can advise you if you are unsure.
• Don't forget to separately report the project's expenses. To avoid deductions, you should be able to produce a report from your accounting that only includes the expenses that belong to the project.
