The Civil Initiatives Fund (CIF) is a government grant programme for non-governmental organisations, under which projects aimed at increasing the involvement of citizens and non-governmental organisations in public life are subsidised. The grant can be obtained for a social project. The range of actions that can be implemented covers all areas of public benefit activity. As part of the Programme, four priorities have been specified:

Subsidies under the programme will be allocated to the institutional development of the organisation and the implementation of their statutory objectives.
The Solidarity Corps is a long-term volunteering programme which aims to provide comprehensive support for the development of a long-term relationship between volunteers and institutions using their services. The programme aims to contribute to the development of civil society through the development and implementation of solutions that will facilitate and encourage the systematic and long-term involvement of citizens in volunteering.
The Scout Movement Development Governmental Programme for 2018-2030 is a new form of support for scouting organisations, which are an important partner of the state in activities for the development and upbringing of young people.

This creates the possibility of comprehensive, modern and harmonious physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of children and youth.
