Common Ground Program

It’s intended to help organizations maintain or strengthen what already works: their people, their structure, their programs, and their ability to stay present in communities. The goal isn’t to create new projects, but to ensure that what you’ve built continues to have a lasting impact.

•A non-profit organization with a provable track record in bridging divides within and across communities, which must submit three concrete examples from the last 18-24 months showcasing its contribution to trust-building, dialogue, social cohesion, and/or cooperation across divides.
•Legally registered, non-profit organization based and operating in one of the eligible countries—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia;
•An unregistered grass-roots local initiative, informal group, and similar actors: You can apply through a coalition with an established, legally registered CSO that acts as the lead organization (the lead organization must submit the application and provide a signed Memorandum of Understanding defining partner roles and financial flows)
