The determination to defend human rights and actively develop civil society will once again be supported in the third round of calls for the Active Citizens Fund – Slovakia grant program, which is aimed at supporting non-governmental organizations in Slovakia.

NGOs can apply for funding for their projects from January 26, 2021.

“These challenges focus on the active involvement of citizens in decision-making and public policy-making, improving governance, strengthening the protection of human rights, improving civic education and empowering vulnerable groups in society. The program also supports bilateral contacts between Slovak organizations and partners from donor countries, “explains Peter Medveď, director of the Ekopolis Foundation, which together with the Open Society Foundation and the Carpathian Foundation manage the Active Citizens Fund – Slovakia program.

The deadline for the grant call applications is April, 29 2021.
