In the next phase, the program will be opened to other countries in the region as well. Since its establishment in 1997, the grantee has provided grants to more than 2,000 projects of nonprofit organizations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Ukraine. In addition to grant support, the grantee provides capacity building and networking opportunities to its grantees and actively participates in policy development relating to civil society and philanthropy.
