Prague Civil Society Centre Grants — Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia
One of the few grantmakers that treats Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia as a single working region, awarding institutional core support, project support, emergency support and small follow-up grants across 12 countries. The follow-up grants are unusual and useful: participants in the Centre's events and workshops can get small grants to carry an idea forward, a low-friction route into funded work for groups with no grant history. Selection is competitive and uses external experts, and some calls are invitation-based rather than open.
- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)Figures are published in euros so the numeric fields are left null: the Centre reports an average civil society grant of EUR 51,000 and an average media grant of EUR 64,000, with a stated range from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand euros.
- Timing
- Varies by programmeNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.A mix of open calls and invitation-based calls, announced on the Centre's site; emergency support is designed to move fast and outside call cycles. No fixed annual deadline is published.
- Who can apply
- Community organisation, Practitioner
- Eligibility
- Applicants are civil society initiatives and independent media in the 12 countries the Centre covers across Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia — a region where many groups operate under foreign-agent or restrictive-NGO regimes. The grants page does not state whether unregistered groups or individuals may apply, and does not name the 12 countries; it also notes that some calls are invitation-based, so not every stream is openly competitive.
