We had 20 members

The Fund for Transparent Slovakia had 20 member companies, all united by an interest to help NGOs active in the fight against corruption, the promotion of state transparency and the creation of tools to prevent state capture.

A record number of projects received our support

In 2017, we issued two calls for grant proposals through which 16 projects received a total sum of 170,034 euros. For Transparent Slovakia was a call for grant proposals which helped eight organizations focus on analytical, watchdog and advocacy activities in the areas of computerization, transport, justice, state administration and efficient use of public resources. You can find out more about these projectshere.

• Fair-Play Alliance,

There were also 6 projects which took place in 2017 after being supported in the previous call for grant proposals (For Transparent Slovakia 2016) since these funds were awarded for a two-year period (from February 2016 to November 2017). In this second part of the call, the supported organizations received a total of 20,000 euros.

Our first call focusing on Slovak regions

In 2017, we issued the call For Transparent Regions, which was our reaction to an increasing need to combat corruption and improve the transparency of public finance management at a local level. We supported eight organizations active in Slovak regions that focused on organizing discussions and a festival, making local governments more open and improving the transparency of EU fund use. Find out more here.
