The Prague Civil Society Centre is happy to invite civil society and grassroots groups in Armenia to apply for project funding.
They support the development of new civil society organisations looking to expand their network and connections with changemakers across the country.

- Applicants may apply for co-funding, in which case more information about the nature of the other funders of the project should be provided.
- The maximum funding available per project is 10,000 euros.
- The duration of the projects can be from 6 to 12 months. Selected projects can start at the earliest from June 2023.
