What we do

Funding

One of the main activities of the Workshop for Civic Initiatives Foundation is to work as a funding organization, announcing regularly new opportunities to support civic initiatives. We organize calls for proposals and provide funding for initiatives with different focuses. All current calls are published on the WCIF website, where interested parties can find the necessary information.

Philanthropy

Civil society and its active participation in the processes of change in the country are impossible without the conscious and meaningful support of individuals, entrepreneurs and companies with philanthropic attitudes, donor motivation or willingness to volunteer. The development of private philanthropy is one of the opportunities for citizens, united in various civic organizations, to change their lives for the better without depending on public funds or international aid.
