This funder supports the strength and visibility of Estonia’s civil society, with a strong emphasis on nonprofit capacity building, community engagement, and public participation. Its grant programs include both open calls for local organizations and targeted EU CERV rounds around citizen participation and gender equality, suggesting a mix of sector development and issue-based civic rights work. It also backs social innovation through the NULA incubator, especially for organizations ready to turn tested ideas into scalable solutions.
Competitive grant rounds with fixed deadlines, primarily for Estonia-based nonprofits and civil society actors; some programs are EU co-funded and limited to specific thematic calls or program alumni. Grants appear to range from smaller development or preparatory awards to structured program support rather than unrestricted long-term funding.
Watch the site for annual calls and apply by the posted deadlines; several rounds are time-limited and likely require proposals aligned closely with the stated theme. Tailor applications to civil society impact in Estonia, and check eligibility carefully because some calls are restricted to specific nonprofit types, EU CERV themes, or NULA alumni.
