    The Visegrad Fund is launching the first call for applications for Visegrad, Visegrad+ and Strategic grants in 2020. With grants, Visegrad Fund supports cross-border and transnational regional projects in Visegrad region, Eastern Partnership and Western Balkans countries.

    The Visegrad Foundation is providing funding to a diverse range of activities in all areas of life. From small cross-border projects that strive to improve mutual understanding in the border areas to multilateral initiatives with potential to benefit people across the whole region.

    ELIGIBILITY

    Organizations that aim to share knowledge, enhance innovation and engage citizens in the Visegrad region and across Central and Eastern Europe are encouraged to apply. If you are a small civic group focused on the local community, or an experienced, nation-wide organization feel free to apply! Five basic criteria to assess the quality of project proposals are applied. In addition, it is also considered the relative strength of the application compared to other applications received for the same focus area and geographical balance of the supported projects. The evaluation of applications is advisory and not of a decision-making nature. The decisions on support are made by the Council of Ambassadors.
