Ki nyer ma?

For the 10 million Fás community, the unexpected can be considered routine. 

Nevertheless, when the number of submitted applications swelled to 264 on the night before the submission deadline, we were taken aback. Of course, we rose to the occasion, just as we have with many other tasks over the past years.

It is difficult for us not to speak in grand terms about this: 264 plans, needs, and desires from the smallest village to the capital, from the depths of the forest to the concrete jungle, all aimed at making our environment more livable, biologically diverse, and greener. 

The reviewers became acquainted with hundreds of stories and communities, and while it was laborious, it was also uplifting. And of course, it was a bit sad, as the oft-repeated words: “the jury was in a difficult position,” do not remotely express our feelings. There was hardly a plan that we could easily reject. 
The total funding requirement for all applications exceeded 400 million HUF, while we had the opportunity to distribute 19 million HUF. In the end, we announced 24 winning applications. 

WHO WON?

We, the organizers and reviewers of the application, definitely won by experiencing this and seeing so much of the country’s communities eager to go green up close.
24 organizations won a total of 19 million HUF in funding to realize their plans within the framework of National Tree Planting Day. You can check the national distribution of the applications on the map.

We hope that the communities that missed out on the winners’ list also gained by putting together their applications and articulating how they would like to improve their environment. We hope to provide financial or material support to many of them outside of the application process, if not necessarily at this very moment, but we are continuously working to ensure that as many projects as possible can take root!

IF YOU DID NOT WIN

If you did not win this time, please stay in touch with us, as we do not stop, and what did not come to fruition today may be realized tomorrow!

Many adults and children won shade and cleaner air. And confirmation that we are not alone in not passively observing the negative changes brought about by climate change.

Congratulations to the winners, who are presented below in alphabetical order.
