Asociația Act for Tomorrow, through the Start ONG platform, provides small-to-midsize micro-grants to Romanian NGOs, public education institutions, and informal groups working on community benefit projects. Its giving is especially oriented toward practical, locally rooted initiatives in education, health, environment, social inclusion, and culture, with an emphasis on capacity building, innovation, and pilot projects that can be replicated. The special 2026 “The Power of Responsibility” call suggests a preference for innovative interventions with clear scaling potential, not just one-off activities.
Monthly open calls for micro-grants through Start ONG, plus occasional special thematic calls; grant sizes are typically small to modest ($1,000-$10,000), with the special call supporting larger pilot projects around $5,800-$11,500. The process is structured around published deadlines, and some special opportunities are invite/selection-based rather than open unsolicited proposals.

Monitor the Start ONG website closely, since general calls open on the 1st of each month and special calls have separate deadlines. Prepare a concise project idea with measurable community impact, a realistic budget, and a clear case for innovation or replicability; for special calls, note that some stages may not accept unsolicited proposals and may begin with a letter of intent.
