Support Bolsters Democracy in the European Neighborhood.

The European Endowment for Democracy (EED) is an initiative of the European Union (EU) and EU member states that aims to promote democracy in the European Neighborhood, the Western Balkans, Turkey, and other regions. The EED provides support to civil society organizations, independent media, and individual activists working towards a pluralistic democratic political system. The areas of interest for funding include anti-corruption, media platforms, civic activism, human rights, women's participation, sexual orientation and gender identity, youth, and arts and culture. The grants range from 40,000 to 60,000 euros on average, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. [Extracted from the article]
