The amount of their own income, the ability to get some money from different organizations, and the level of cooperation with banks - these all have a substantial meaning for communities. The lack of funds in the preliminary stage of preparations might be sometimes a decisive factor in giving up the efforts lor FU funds. Hanks are an important, but not only, source of money. An additional problem for communities is a formal barrier. This is connected with a preliminary stage (difficult form to fill in, foreign language problems) and with realization of the accepted projects (additional costs of specialists employed).
