Activate: Building Bridges Between CSOs, Private Sector and Active Citizens
Bulgarian Center for Non-for-profit Law

BGN 586,816


The project supports the Bulgarian Center for Not-for-Profit Law (BCNL) in providing a comprehensive program that helps civil society organizations achieve sustainability, organize better, and successfully advocate for change. It builds on activities BCNL has developed over the years in three areas: • NGO entrepreneurship. A training program that enables organizations to become financially sustainable by starting mission-driven businesses. The program includes training, competitions for best business plan, and continued mentorship support; • Monitoring of the NGO environment. This activity envisions continuous monitoring of legislative initiatives that help improve the legal environment for NGOs; • Activation of NGOs and their partners. A series of trainings for active regional organizations will be organized to help establish an alliance of regional NGOs; the summer school for young NGO leaders will take place annually; and a broader circle of nonprofits will be brought to collaborate more effectively in BCNL’s coworking space, the NGO House.

We are performing technical maintenance on our website and the project database will not be accessible until 4 pm today.
