In the "From the Alps to the Carpathians" project, we are preparing a collection of good practices of Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, Ukrainian and Slovak NGOs. We are currently working on the call for applications for the Carpathian Social  Innovation Award and the technical preparation of the 2025 "Summer Camp" is underway.

Cross-border cooperation and donations have never been more important than now. From 9-11 October 2024, the Carpathian Foundation hosted the annual  steering committee meeting of Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) in Budapest.

We are pleased to announce the launch of , the Carpathian Civil Society Platform website karpatnet.com, which aims to facilitate more effective cooperation and partnering between civil society organisations in the Carpathian region.

We are excited to announce- in the From Alps to  the Carpathians project- a significant step forward in our mission to strengthen civil society across the Carpathian region: the development of a Virtual HUB, dedicated to supporting NGOs and civil society organizations. This initiative is part of our ongoing effort to foster cooperation, provide up-to-date information on funding opportunities, and create a dynamic space for partner-finding.

Within the framework of the “Central Mountains” project “Carpathian Civil Society  Platform”, the Carpathian Foundation-Hungary (Carpathian Foundation-Ukraine, ETP Slovakia, Peritum Foundation-Poland, SZMISZ-Romania) are working together to revitalize the virtual platform created a few years ago, which a few years ago to give civil society organisations in the Carpathian Basin the opportunity to cross-border partnerships, to exchange information and experience, to exchange experiences and to learning from each other, sharing knowledge, experience and good practices.

We are very pleased to announce that the Carpathian Foundation was represented at the Central Mountains project meeting, which took place in Mallnitz, 4-6 June 2024.

For almost three decades, the Carpathian Foundation, which embraces the bordering areas of Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine, has contributed to the development of the Carpathian Region. Our Foundation fosters cross-border cooperation, overcoming language barriers, cultural and historical differences to strengthen the role of civil society in local development, thus contributing to the territorial cohesion of the Carpathians.

The current war in Europe contradicts everything the Carpathian Foundation and its partners stand for.

Today we were able to donate supplies (medicine, medical supplies, bandages, etc.) worth more than HUF 1 million to our Ukrainian colleagues to be sent to hospitals in Transcarpathia! Thank you for the support from which you made this donation possible. We are continuing to collect for this purpose in our Emergency Response Fund for Ukrainians, with which we would like to further support civil society organizations and civic initiatives helping refugees fleeing to Hungary from Ukraine! Thank You!
