	By developing the civil society we actively contribute to the establishing and development of the non-profit associations. We provide information regarding the non-profit activities, support the projects to be carried out by NPAs and provide information in cooperation with county development centres how to start the NPA. In cooperation with county development centres we also organise the training and consultation of NPAs.
	Trainings and consultation County development centres provide advice regarding the establishing of NPAs and foundations, taxes and reporting, supporting possibilities etc. The mentorship programme for non-profit associations supports the growth of operating capacity of NGOs and strengthens the communications networks between NGOs. Basic training for starting non-profit associations provides an overview of the basic matters for smooth functioning of the everyday life of the association. The training and study trips organized for non-profit associations by county development centres will support the associations in developing their everyday activity. The Development Programme for Directors of Non-Profit Associations offers multifaceted training allowing directors of associations who have at least one year of managerial experience to increase their capabilities.
	Grants The local initiative grant for both the rural and urban citizens for the maintenance of the surrounding of the home, promotion of the local life and strengthening of the community. Also, NPAs and foundations can apply for several other grants meant for the development of local public services and also for strengthening of regional competitiveness.
