Support the establishment of NGOs

Interested individuals and legal entities who wish to establish an NGO, will receive relevant advisory councils, forms of registration required, procedures for opening a bank account, text of NGO law and other necessary information and specific instructions. Since the forms for establishing associations and foundations are complete, and they involve the filing out of segments that exclusively depend on the decision of interested parties, CRNVO will not prepare complete acts on behalf of interested persons, but will certainly provide all necessary advice on how this should be done.

Consultations in the preparation and realization of projects
(domestic local and national calls for project proposals submission, projects financed from EU funds, calls by other donors)

CRNVO can provide advice on the overall compatibility of the project proposal with the specific call, project objectives, and the amount of the budget.

Daily information concerning public calls for NGOs, events, news in regards to NGOs through CRNVO Mailing list

This service involves providing important information for the work of NGOs on a daily basis. The information refers to public invitations of state bodies related to the preparation of public policies (strategies, laws, etc.), events organized by state and local government bodies, information on competitions for the allocation of funds for NGOs and other relevant information.

CRNVO e-mail newsletter

The CRNVO e-mail list was established in 2001 in order to exchange information between NGOs with an emphasis on information related to the environment in which NGOs operate in Montenegro. The e-mail list aims to provide better information on available competitions, public hearings, opportunities to participate in bodies forming public sector institutions, legal obligations of NGOs, available trainings, events organized by NGOs, initiatives, and other information relevant to NGOs. The specific goal of establishing the CRNVO e-mail list is to encourage dialogue between users, exchange of opinions and views on issues related to the work and activities of NGOs. Users of the CRNVO e-mail list are predominantly NGOs, but also other legal and natural persons who are interested in receiving and placing information related to NGOs. All users of the list have the same rights in terms of timely receipt of information – all information reaches all users of the list at the same time.
