Project funds

In order to encourage members of the Ultimate community (clubs and players) to develop and implement their own projects, the SUA allocates a yearly budget to fund these projects. Projects are given priority for financial support if they:

  • contribute to an increase in the number of players;
  • raise awareness/visibility of Ultimate in general,
  • support the development of Ultimate as a youth sport,
  • support diversity and inclusion.

There are 3 project categories:

  • Small Project: up to 1,000
  • Medium Project: approx. 2,000 CHF
  • Large Project: over 4,000 CHF

A project evaluation committee (SUA President, SUA Treasurer, SUA Club Consultant, and two elected club members from alternating clubs, each serving a two-year term) reviews the project proposals. The following criteria and questions serve to direct their decision-making process.

Goals and relevance - Is the goal being pursued clearly and understandably stated?
- Is the project relevant to the development of Swiss Ultimate?
Reach and diversity

- How many people will the project reach?

- How broad is the target audience it reaches? 

- Does the project target underrepresented groups in our Ultimate Community?
Sustainability - Do the project’s effects continue even after it has ended?
- Are the positive effects also felt over the long term?
- Can the project also lead to the implementation or support of other projects?
Expertise and Motivation - Has a successful project been launched before?
- Are project team members working in this area outside the Ultimate community as well?
- Is there a noticeable level of motivation?
- Is the project leadership able to carry out this project independently, or does additional support need to be provided?
Costs - How much will the project cost?
- How much effort will it take to carry out the project?
- How long will the project take?
- How many internal SUA resources will be tied up?
- Will efforts be made to secure funding from outside the SUA (e.g., sponsorship)?

The club consultant verifies that the formal requirements have been met, asks for clarification if necessary, and forwards the reviewed version to the evaluation committee.

Step 3: Content Review (week 3-4)

The evaluation committee asks questions about the content. The club consultant summarizes the questions and forwards them to the project initiators and forwards the answers to the evaluation committee.

Step 4: Project Evaluation and Decision(week 5-6)

The evaluation committee submits its evaluation. The club consultant informs the project team whether or not the project has been accepted.

After the project has been realised:

- They create a post on BeUnity containing a short description and a picture.
- They enter their learnings and best practices here on Bookstack.
