About ABF
The America for Bulgaria Foundation (ABF) is an independent, nonpartisan, and nonpolitical American grant-making foundation working in partnership with Bulgarians to strengthen the country’s private sector and related democratic institutions.
ABF started operations in Bulgaria in 2009. Its four key priorities are:
- Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology
- Developing and Retaining Human Capital
- Business Enabling Environment
- Cultural Heritage and Nature Tourism
We partner with companies, institutions, communities, non-governmental organizations and visionary leaders that champion economic freedom, entrepreneurship and rule of law as the essential building blocks for a thriving economy and democracy.
ABF accepts proposals throughout the year through our Apply for Funding Page. We also solicit proposals through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Active RFPs will be posted on our Request for Proposals Page. We also proactively approach organizations that are independently identified by our staff and initiate projects ourselves.
The Foundation seeks to enhance the longstanding legacy of goodwill and friendship between the American and Bulgarian people.
