Among other working areas, the Fund also supports civil society by fostering democratic initiatives, rule of law, and regional cooperation. It runs the The Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation (BST) which promotes: (1) regional cooperation and good governance in the Wider Black Sea region; (2) accountable, transparent, and open governments; (3) strong, effective civic sectors; and (4) independent and professional media.

2) Eligibility
Regional Program projects can be initiated by civic entities from the Black Sea region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine) or Central and Eastern Europe (such as the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia).
