Following the application to the tender launched in 2017 by the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism Office (FMO), the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in consortium with the Bissaya Barreto Foundation, was selected to operate in Portugal the Active Citizens Fund, a component of the EEA Grants specifically designed to support Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The key objective of the Programme is to strengthen civil society and active citizenship and to empower vulnerable groups.
