The Vysočina Fund
The Region established the Vysočina Fund in 2002 as a tool to support activities and events in Vysočina that correspond to its long-term strategic Regional Development Program. Moreover, as part of the Vysočina Fund, the Region promulgates a wide range of grant programs (GP) in support of certain types of development. Almost anyone may apply – municipalities, microregions, non-profit organizations, companies, as well as individuals.
The Vysočina Fund is one of the most progressive endeavors of the Vysočina Region – there exists no comparably systematic and thought-out way of supporting regional development in the country’s other regions.
