23 project proposals from 22 organizations were submitted in the open call for projects fighting the violence against women. The call is a joint initiative of the Bulgarian Fund for Women and the BCause foundation with a total budget of 40 000 leva, whereas selected projects will be awarded with up to 5000 leva.

The following stage of the open call is the evaluation and selection of projects for funding. They will be assessed based on their coherence with the call’s requirements, the implementation capacity and potential of the candidate, the relation to the theme of the proposal, as well as the project’s overall objectivity of proposed activities and budget. The jury will consist of representtives of BFW and BCause, and participants will be contacted by 22 Novmber 2019.

A special ceremony to award the selected participants will take place on 25 November at 13 h in the American corner of the City Library.

We thank all participants for their interest and submissions.

The call is supported by the International Women’s Club of Sofia, Sigrid Rausing Trust, DSK bank and individual sponsors.
