Trag Foundation Open Calls — Fund for Young Feminists, Green Ideas, Active Communities
Serbia's main community-philanthropy foundation, running a standing set of open calls rather than a single programme: a Fund for Young Feminists, Green Ideas for solidarity-economy and environmental initiatives, Active Communities for local civic action, and a strategic grant for good governance. The Active Communities line is explicitly aimed at community-based groups initiating change in their own localities, which is the natural home for a community-partnered study or local evaluation in the Western Balkans. Trag reports 2,400+ projects supported across 250 communities over 26 years.
- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)No grant amount is disclosed on the open-calls index for any of the calls. The foundation reports over USD 25 million distributed across 2,400+ projects in 26 years, which is a lifetime total and not a per-grant figure.
- Timing
- Several times a yearNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Several calls run concurrently and rotate through the year. The Fund for Young Feminists call is listed with a 23 August deadline and Green Ideas with an extended 10 July deadline, but the index does not print the year alongside those dates, so no future deadline is asserted here.

- Eligibility
- Calls are aimed at community-based groups, civil society organisations and young feminists, primarily in Serbia and the surrounding region. The open-calls index does not state per-call registration requirements or whether informal groups can hold funds — each individual call page carries its own criteria and several calls are published only in Serbian.
