'NATO Charity Bazaar' - Deadline for applications 1 May 2019

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, February 21 (FENA) - A two-day humanitarian event titled "NATO Charity Bazaar" is organized every year at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels, in order to raise funds for financing of international humanitarian projects, including projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry of Defense of BiH announced.

In this regard, this ministry informs and invites all interested humanitarian organizations and societies in Bosnia and Herzegovina to get all the information on the guidelines, application forms and other criteria for submitting projects through the web site www.natocharitybazaar.org.

At the same time, it also reminds that the maximum amount of money that can be obtained per project is 10,000 euros, with the note that the deadline for the application is 1 May 2019.

The NATO Charity Bazaar ASBL (NCB) was initially formed in 1967 as the NATO International Military Staff (IMS) Officer Wives Group. This Group was created to facilitate friendship and develop a family feeling within the IMS’ international community.

These women, dedicated to their cause, organized the first official bazaar two years later, and they brought unique items from their native countries, many homemade. This bazaar raised 24.586 Belgian Francs, which was all donated to the Save the Children Fund in London, England.

Over 35 years, the organization grew and on 26 April 2005, further solidified its legitimacy by becoming an officially registered ASBL (non-profit organization) with two objectives: to organize social events and activities with the aim of collecting funds to donate to charity, and to bring together the employees and family of NATO Headquarters to foster friendship within its international community.

Currently, the NCB is comprised of volunteers from 42 nations, with its members representing NATO Allies and Partners for Peace nations; an established board consisting of up to 20 positions; and the support and patronage of the wife of the Secretary General, as well as, the Deputy Secretary General, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Deputy Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Director General of the NATO International Military Staff, and their spouses.
