General Information
East Europe Foundation is complementing its grants program with grant competitions, invited proposals, partnership grants and non-grant program activities.
Competitions are announced to the public, are open to any qualified applicant and usually result in more than one award.
Invited proposals are generally issued to one or more organizations that have been pre-screened by the Foundation and that meet certain requirements.
Partnership grants allow the Foundation to strengthen a local organization's knowledge or expertise in a particular field by linking it to an established organization experienced in the relevant field.
Non-grant program activities represent projects implemented directly by the Foundation.
What We Fund:
Our grants support our mission to strengthen civil society participation in governance and local community development.
