East Europe Foundation

Eurasia Foundation (EF) began operating in Ukraine in 1993. Since then, EF has invested more than USD 44 mln in grants, loans and technical assistance in Ukraine, more than USD 6 mln in Belarus and more than USD 4 mln in Moldova for local initiatives to develop private entrepreneurship, public policy and civil society. EF successfully supported a wide range of activities, benefiting institutions and individuals at the local level with programmatic focus on supporting civil society, private enterprise development and public administration and policy reform. Launched in November 2007 by Eurasia Foundation, East Europe Foundation (EEF) is a local non-profit, non-governmental developmental NGO which builds on EF experience by further developing the most effective programs. EEF shares its founder’s commitment to innovation, seeking to support successful community-driven development initiatives. EEF empowers citizens to build their own futures by mobilizing resources, strengthening communities and fostering public-private cooperation. With an independent board of directors and a highly skilled staff, EEF implements economic and social development programs with the support of local and international donors, including USAID, European governments, multilateral organizations, foundations and corporations.
