The volunteering exists in all cultures and continents around the globe for centuries. It is part of the daily life of thousands of people in Bulgaria. The people with good will give their time, skills and efforts. They deserve support and recognition.

Tulip Foundation and National Alliance for Voluntary Action announce the traditional annual competition for the most interesting and effective voluntary initiatives in Bulgaria.

Organisations and groups that have organised voluntary initiatives during the year regardless the place and the period of the realisation, the aim and organisation of the actions, the sources of funding, number and age of the volunteers are invited to participate. Every good initiative deserves recognition!

The nominated initiatives will be evaluated on the basis of their results, the importance for the local community, the number and the involvement of the participants, the impact of the initiative for the development of the capacity of the volunteers and the team of the organisation, the financial effectiveness. The best initiatives will be praised with a special certificate and award in the form of investment in the development of the volunteers and the organisation.

Initiatives can be nominated by organisations and individuals by sending the filled nomination form to mgeorgieva@tulipfoundation.net by 9 November 2020. The full list of nominated initiatives will be presented on the websites of Tulip Foundation and NAVA.

The awards will be announced at a public ceremony on the occasion of the International Day of Volunteers in the beginning of December 2020.
