NGO Academy Membership
NGO Academy supports civil society organisations in the CEE region through capacity building. Our focus lies on the support of organisations that have an impact on underserved populations and address overlooked social issues. Thanks to the support of ERSTE Foundation 500+ organisations have had the opportunity to join the NGO Academy network in the past years. ERSTE Foundation, Erste Bank as well as renowned scholars and experts identified these organisations as eligible for scholarship.
What does NGO Academy offer?
NGO Academy Member Organisations and their employees are eligible for the NGO Academy’s Capacity Building Programmes. Members can participate in the offers of the Regional Programme, apply for the Community-Led Events, the Social Innovation and Management Programme and the Master of Science in Social Innovation and Management. More than 45 workshops and other interactive formats convey up-to-date and hands-on knowledge each year. Organisations from 14 countries are part of our network and share their experiences and knowledge. It is the numerous participants of the NGO Academy and their valuable inputs and perspectives that make the programmes what they are: a learning journey that is supported by an extensive network of creators and practitioners.
How can my organisation apply?
In order to sustain a dynamic and active network, we organise intakes and accept new organisations in irregaluar intervals. The next application phase has not yet been determined.
