Building a just and durable democracy and a vibrant private sector in the 21st century depends on extending the benefits of quality education to all, boosting independent journalism, strengthening the judiciary, and promoting good governance. We partner with nonprofit organizations, citizen groups, and educational institutions to ensure that Bulgaria reaches its potential as a modern democratic nation. You can support the vital work they do in the country and help make Bulgaria a better place to live and work.

In 2018, the America for Bulgaria Foundation teamed up with GlobalGiving to help Bulgarian nonprofits expand their reach and learn how to take advantage of digital fundraising opportunities. All nonprofits listed on the Foundation’s GlobalGiving page are former or current grantees and have successfully completed GlobalGiving’s training in crowdfunding and digital fundraising.
