Eligible beneficiaries are:

Preference will be given to organisations located outside Chisinau due to economic and social disparities between the capital and remote areas, and those working to support the most vulnerable groups disproportionately affected by the pandemic crisis.

Priority will be given to applications from organisations who have not already received our support under the “COVID-19: Civil Society Resilience and Sustainability” project. Applications from political or religious organisations will not be considered.
