Heart & Hand Fund
The Heart and Hand Fund supported women and LGBTQI initiatives for Peace in the Balkans from 1999-2022.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR WORK
We learned over and over that activists often start projects on their own when they see unmet needs. One of Heart & Hand’s guiding principles was recognizing the wisdom of local activists to determine what funding is needed within the limits of our budget. We are grateful to the donors that supported these hardworking activists for 25 years.

We’ve learned over and over that activists often start projects on their own when they see unmet needs. One of Heart & Hand’s guiding principles is recognizing the wisdom of local activists to determine what funding is needed within the limits of our budget. We would like to add new grants to new and emerging projects without neglecting our long-time partners.
