About the Partnership Fund

The Partnership Fund supports partnership initiatives with funding of up to €60,000 and a duration of 6 to 18 months.

The objectives of the fund are:

• to establish useful connections between organisations working mainly at national level, which have the necessary experience, and local organisations, which have the necessary infrastructure to reach local communities
• to attract more experienced civil society organizations working mainly at national level as key ambassadors in spreading EU values among citizens and to enable civil society organizations working mainly at local level to learn from their work

Applicant organizations, and those with supported initiatives, will have access to various opportunities for building partnerships, practical knowledge, and skills.

The fund is managed by the Open Society Institute – Sofia (OSIS) Foundation and amounts to a total of €2,400,000. Approximately 40 partnership initiatives by civil society organizations are expected to be supported under the fund.
