When writing their application, organizations are encouraged to present details related to the identified problem, the way in which the proposed project will provide an innovative solution, through concrete actions, as well as the expected measurable results.

Depending on the number of beneficiaries and the complexity of the proposed projects, NGOs can request grants up to 10,000 USD. The Foundation’s Board will evaluate the proposals and select the winning projects by the end of November 2024.

With this news grant session, TELUS Digital Romania Community Board continues its commitment started in 2016 to support local communities. To date, the Foundation has funded 136 projects in Romania with grants amounting to 700,000 USD.
