In a reference to the upcoming call for proposals for civic society sectoral projects as a part of the Active Citizens Fund – National, the Polish Fund Operator invites all interested entities to a matchmaking online meeting which will be held on 23rd April 2020 (from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m) on an online platform.

The aim of the meeting is to facilitate networking  of Polish civil society organizations with their potential project partners from Donor States (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). Current conditions of the civic sector in Poland and in Donor States and recommended activities empowering the civic sector from each country will be discussed.
