Please find below the relevant information: The registration of diaspora organizations in Estonia is governed by the Non-Profit Associations Act, which you can access here: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/ee/501022023003/consolide/current. Organizations must register as non-profit associations (MT�) via the Estonian Business Register. This requires submitting founding documents, including statutes and a list of founding members. More information is available at www.rik.ee. The Integration Foundation provides financial support to cultural organizations representing ethnic minorities. Currently, 17 umbrella organizations, including Gruusia Kultuuriseltside Maja Eestis, receive funding to support over 260 cultural societies in Estonia. Baseline funding for cultural umbrella organizations has been allocated for the 2025�2027 period, and strategic partners have already been selected. The next application round will be in 2027 for the 2028�2030 funding period. For new applicants, we recommend applying for project-based support, which funds cultural initiatives that promote ethnic minority heritage, cultural events, and cooperation with other organizations. Information on this funding is available here: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/109012024010. Applications are generally accepted by the Integration Foundation in January. Each year, between 20 and 30 cultural associations receive grants for projects supporting cultural and linguistic heritage. As one Georgian umbrella organization already benefits from this funding, we encourage new initiatives to consider project-based support as an initial step. Additionally, Tallinn Municipality also provides financial support for cultural projects of ethnic minorities. More details on eligibility and application procedures are available here: https://www.tallinn.ee/et/kultuur/toetus-rahvusvahemuste-kultuuriprojektidele. The Ministry of Culture is responsible for supporting national minority cultural organizations. The Integration Foundation administers these programs and can provide additional guidance. More details are available at www.integratsioon.ee. Should you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
