The Environmental Partnership Association (EPA), is a consortium of five foundations which supports community based environmental improvement projects in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. These foundations are focused on stimulating awareness of, and participation in, environmental problems in the region. The Environmental Partnership is playing a significant role i
n building bridges of cooperation between people and organizations, and across all sectors, in order to build civil societies and sustainable communities in Central and Eastern Europe. Using a flexible mixture of small grants, technical assistance, networking, training activities, and special programs, the Environmental Partnership foundations empower individuals, organizations, and communities to participate actively in environmental decision-making. At the same time, they catalyze cooperation among the private, public, and nonprofit sectors for environmental problem-solving. Over the years the EP foundations have built a solid reputation among both domestic and international organizations for being fast, effective, and non-bureaucratic.
