Our mission

The Hungarian Environmental Partnership Foundation aims at enhancing the development of an environmentally aware, participatory democratic society and institutional system by strengthening and supporting the civil environmental movements.

The foundation promotes the development of the environmental movement trough providing grants, training, fellowships and technical assistance where necessary.

Due to the large number of other grant programs, HEPF’s most traditional grant program had no deadline in 2008.

However, the grant program supporting environmental NGOs’ advocacy campaigns, and public participation efforts as well as the strengthening of new, upcoming initiatives was open throughout the year. As a result, 6 successful applicants received 8,504 EUR (2,138,800 HUF). Besides, several larger NGOs also asked for HEPF’s help to provide short-term loans which have been paid back over a period of several months.
