We create different programs to strengthen civil society through capacity building, participation, and networking. 

We believe that a fragmented society is a significant issue, which can be improved by, among others, strengthening civil societies: therefore, ECK applicants can apply for funding to address the problems identified by local communities. 

“Perhaps a civil society will emerge in Hungary, which will be able to organize its own existence independently of the prevailing power and to transform democracy according to its own needs, for its own freedom, happiness, and success. And then, the day will come when tolerance will not only be a virtue but also a social practice.”

Imre Kertész
