Bulgarian Fund for Women has selected the organizations to receive funding under the feminist projects grant. 10 initiatives in 4 different towns and one village will be supported.
The 43 project proposals were subjected to a two-stage procedure of evaluation. After the BFW team assessed the compliance of the projects with the administrative requirements and the objectives of the competition, 15 of the submitted proposals were selected for evaluation by a jury composed of:
- Nadejda Dermendjieva, Executive Director of BFW
