Grant Competition for Creation and Development of NGO Resource Centers in
Russia
    
The goal of this grant program is to promote the development of a stable
noncommercial sector in Russia's regions by supporting the development of
NGO Resource Centers.  The program specifically targets regions of Russia
where the noncommercial sector is not as well developed, and so groups in
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhnii Novgorod and Ekaterinburg are EXCLUDED from
this competition.  The program seeks to encourage the creation of a network
of NGO Resource Centers in cities where: 
    
1)  there is already an NGO support base
2) there is evidence of at least the beginnings (or potential) of a
noncommercial sector well established enough to warrant and support a full-
scale NGO Resource Center, and
3)  there exists an NGO (with support from other NGOs or other enterprises)
which can administer such a center and secure a wide range of extra services
..
    
These NGO Resource Centers will be expected to provide, either by themselves
or with the support of other organizations, the following services: 
    
* determine what is need to assist local NGOs
   
* organize consultations, seminars, and training on a wide range of topics,
including: organizational development, official registration, financial
management, taxation, collecting resources, carrying out public advocacy
campaigns, creating coalitions, working with the media, etc.
    
* create a database of NGOs within the local region
    
* participate in special electronic conferences
    
* secure Internet access, create Internet sites, and collect and disseminate
information on the Internet
    
* work with local government and advocate on behalf of local NGOs
    
* and more
