context_page_description: The International Visegrad Fund is an international donor organization promoting development of closer cooperation among the Visegrad Group countries—the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The main aim of the fund is to strengthen the ties among people and institutions in Central and Eastern Europe through giving support to regional non-governmental initiatives. The Fund is the only institutionalized form of regional cooperation of the Visegrad Group countries.
context_section_description: The fund provides funding to a diverse range of activities in all areas of life. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), municipalities and local or regional governments, schools and universities, but also private companies are eligible for grant support, provided that their projects have a distinct focus on Visegrad region and further develop cooperation among project partners based in the Visegrad region.
  Other beneficiaries, predominantly NGOs from non-EU countries neighbouring with the Visegrad region – from countries of the Eastern Partnership, such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and the Western Balkans – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are eligible to receive support for projects focusing on the transfer of the unique experience and know-how of the Visegrad Group countries with the processes of democratic transformation and regional integration. An important element of this wider regional cooperation facilitated by the fund is to support activities contributing to political and socio-economic reforms in the partner countries with the aim to support political association and further economic integration between the European Union and the Eastern Partnership and Western Balkans countries.
