Description
1) Objective
The Civic Emergency Fund provides fast, flexible support to civil society actors facing urgent or escalating pressure that hinders their work in the public interest. It responds to situations that fall outside standard grant mechanisms, providing timely and proportionate support to reduce immediate risk and help organizations and activists continue operating safely in restrictive civic environments.
The Civic Emergency Fund supports urgent and proportionate actions that help civil society actors mitigate immediate harm, manage acute pressure, and safeguard their ability to continue operating. Support is tailored to the situation and focused on addressing concrete risks related to legal pressure, safety and security, psychological well-being, and the ability to continue operating.
2) Eligibility
The Fund is open to civil society actors facing direct pressure or restrictive actions related to their work in the public interest. This includes watchdog organizations, human rights and feminist groups, minority-led initiatives, independent non-profit media, environmental organizations, and groups representing marginalized communities, etc. Informal groups, movements, and individual activists, including journalists, may also be supported through a fiscal agent (registered organizations) or by direct payment of costs. The Fund prioritizes safety-focused and confidential forms of assistance.
3) Location
The Fund operates in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
4) Budget
There is no fixed grant size or duration.
5) Application
You should consider applying when pressure, threats, or restrictions related to your work create an immediate risk to your safety, well-being, or ability to continue operating and when timely support could prevent escalation or irreversible harm.
