Societe Generale European Business Services launches ”We Care Together” financing program aimed at supporting projects developed by non-governmental and non-profit organizations in Romania and offering financial support worth a total of 200,000 Euro.

The first SG EBS funding program aims to support the initiatives created by NGOs in the fields of professional integration and education and comes as a natural continuation of the company’s commitment to have a positive impact on society and the environment by supporting vulnerable communities.

Projects may include various actions that respond to the different needs of the beneficiaries: educational projects through sports and cultural activities to encourage integration, training and skills development programs, qualification / retraining courses, projects for preventing school dropout, combating illiteracy, education programs mentorship and professional counseling or insertion programs in the labor market.

“Our main goal is to build a sustainable future together with our colleagues and partners. We want to act for the benefit of individual and collective interests, creating the right conditions for the emergence of certain initiatives, which will bring important and sustainable changes to the Romanian landscape and which will help disadvantaged communities. We hope that many NGOs will apply for the first edition of this funding program, ”said Matthieu Pasquier, CEO of SG EBS. “Good luck to you all and remember that SG EBS is here to support you in the positive transformation of the future.”
