About this grant

The program goal is to strengthen philanthropy and encourage civic participation in Serbia by supporting the development of the Trag Foundation, an indigenous grantmaking organization based in Belgrade.

During 2015-2017, the grantee awarded 188 grants totaling more than $3.8 million and coordinated a regional network of grantmakers in the Balkans.
