About this grant
The program goal is to improve the quality of life of vulnerable people in Romanian communities. The Princess Margarita of Romania Foundation will support local initiatives involving nongovernmental organizations, public institutions, and individual leaders in finding and implementing sustainable solutions for problems in the social services, health, and education fields. In addition, the foundation will strengthen its financial stability by building an unrestricted operational reserve fund. Since its registration as an independent Romanian organization in 1998, the foundation has strengthened the capacity of over 120 child protection nongovernmental organizations, increased awareness of institutions and the general public about the rights of the elderly, and promoted income-generating activities in poor communities.
