An important criterion of project funding is the "partner principle". This means: Renovabis operates where partners ask for assistance for specific projects. Since Renovabis works according to the "partner principle", in general only applications directly submitted from Central and Eastern Europe can be supported.
In the task of promoting projects of the partners in Central and Eastern Europe, Renovabis is guided by the universal Church principles of evangelization and Catholic Social Teaching. Another central feature is the partnership approach of Renovabis: Renovabis sees itself as an action of solidarity with the people in the East, not only for them. That's why we want to advance ourselves with the partners and always consider what is important to them. Renovabis wants all Christians and all people of good will in Central and Eastern Europe to work for the renewal of their society, for reconciliation, justice and peace.
In 2024, Renovabis funded 526 projects for EUR 26 million. The following table gives an overview of the number of projects and the amount of approved funding, country by country, in 2024.
