Open Call to support Rights-defending and Anti-corruption Watchdog Organizations (Hungary)
Deadline: 15-May-23
The German Marshall Fund of the United States Engaging Central Europe program publishes a call for proposals to support rights-defending and anti-corruption watchdog organizations and their projects, which aim to expand their activities beyond major urban centers and strengthen their presence in rural regions.
The growing political polarization of societies, as well as the deepening urban-rural and regional fault lines, have a fundamental impact on the image of democratic politics. Regardless of where they live within the country, citizens are entitled to equal rights and opportunities, and should benefit equally from the results of good governance.
Funding Information
- The value of the grant that can be applied for is $10,000 – $20,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations registered in Hungary with legal personality with experience in protecting basic democratic values, human rights and transparency can apply for support with short- and medium-term (4-12 months ) projects.

- They focus on the grassroots needs of local communities in rural regions;
- They aim to build and mobilize local communities through projects based on issues of democratic participation, human rights, the fight against corruption or good governance;
- They build bridges and mobilize for joint action within multi-ethnic communities;
