EEF - East Europe Foundation Ukraine

East Europe Foundation is a Ukrainian non-profit charitable organization whose story starts all the way back in 1992. At that time, the team was part of Eurasia Foundation, which included national and regional foundations in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and other countries. Back then, Eurasia Foundation in Ukraine worked with small and medium enterprises (SMEs), developed community organizations, and fostered and fostered the development of Ukrainian territorial communities.

In 2007, Eurasia Foundation’s American partners saw that the Ukraine team could determine its own strategic directions and carrying out programs at the international level. It was proposed that we set up a Ukrainian organization. The accumulated knowledge and best practice of the founder made it possible for East Europe Foundation to make its appearance in 2008 as an international charitable organization.

Today East Europe Foundation is one of the leaders in Ukraine’s civil society sector, having completed more than 100 programs of various scales, duration, and complexity. Our areas of activity include the development of democracy and civil society, instituting e-government, developing small and medium enterprises and social entrepreneurship, supporting projects in energy efficiency, and much more. In our work, we rely on a broad network of partners: state and local government agencies, community leaders, NGOs, associations, universities, research institutes, and technical assistance organizations—because we firmly believe that in partnership lies our strength. East Europe Foundation is a member of the Eurasia Partnership Network, which gives us access to the Eurasia Foundation’s experience in all post-soviet countries.
