CEE TRUST
Welcome to the Web site of the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe. We are an independent public charity incorporated under the laws of the United States of America.
Our goal is to promote the development of civil societies in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. To carry out this purpose, the CEE Trust meets the urgent need for funding to help non-governmental organizations (NGOs) gain greater self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
On our Web site you’ll learn about our programs and initiatives provided to support the development of civil societies in the CEE Region; but you’ll also find our opinions and recommendations on a variety of topics, events and issues influencing the shape and condition of civil societies in the Region.
