BECC Charity Partner
Making a difference together
The British Estonian Chamber of Commerce has worked with a wide range of charity partners since 2002 and each year selects projects and partners to support.
We invite applications from funding from Estonian-registered charities for support in the range of 500€ – 5000€. We prefer applications for stand-alone projects and projects for which BECC funding is clearly earmarked.
