Partners & Donors
FUNDING
To ensure that our members can focus entirely on empowering Roma communities, ERGO Network asks for very low membership fees and therefore relies on external funding.
Our main donor is the European Union through a Framework Partnership Agreement with DG JUST. We furthermore receive EU funding through action grants in the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV) Programme, as well as through the European Solidarity Corps programme.
Additionally, ERGO Network receives financial support from the Sigrid Rausing Trust, The Foundation for Remembrance, Responsibility, Future (EVZ Foundation) Tanya’s Dream Fund, the German Federal Foreign Office and the Council of Europe.
PARTNERS
ERGO Network works closely together with other civil society organisations in networks, campaigns and common projects to make the voices of Roma heard, create synergies and amplify our messages to work together for equality and human rights.
