Description
1) Objective
Europe Foundation’s (EPF) mission is to empower people to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity through hands-on programs, helping them to improve their communities and their own lives. EPF engages citizens in social, economic, and political developments, in order to effect substantive and sustainable positive socio-economic change at the local, regional, and national level through both operational programs and grant-making. EPF’s work, both grant-making and program implementation, is guided by these program mandates and approaches: (1) increase citizen action in monitoring the activities of government, businesses, and the donor community to effect positive changes; (2) encourage community volunteerism and activism in Georgia, activities in this field include increasing the understanding and practice of local corporate philanthropy and developing the skills and vision for youth to become advocates for and implementers of social change; (3) promote evidence-based advocacy and policy making throughout all of its program areas, recognizing that sound advocacy and policy making are built on the foundation of reliable and unbiased information.
Their Open Door Grantmaking Program includes the support of CSO pilot projects that foster civic engagement and have the potential to be replicated either in geographic terms or across various issue areas. In addition they offer Strategic Grants for regional organisations that are interested in implementing long-term projects (18-24 months). Strategic Grant recipients, in addition to the Open Door project budget, have a chance to acquire additional funding for institutional development support.
