Det europeiske fondet Civitates, hvor Fritt Ord bidrar, ble opprettet i 2017. Fondet støtter sivilsamfunnsaktører og vektlegger prosjekter knyttet til demokrati, solidaritet og uavhengig journalistikk.

As the European Union heads into a pivotal election year, sixteen philanthropic foundations including Fritt Ord have come together to form Civitates. Civitates is a consortium that provides funding for civil society actors to come together and revitalise public discourse. In the coming weeks we’ll be sharing the stories of some of our grant recipients.
