THE BALKAN TRUST FOR DEMOCRACY (BTD)

The Balkan Trust for Democracy (BTD) is grantmaking initiative that supports democracy, good governance, and Euroatlantic integration in Southeastern Europe. BTD was created in 2003 by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. BTD’s original ten-year mandate came to an end in May 2013. BTD then entered into its second mandate (2013-2020) with structural changes to geographic coverage and grantmaking scope.
