Centrally allocated funds are the smallest source of CSO funding, amounting to just over 2% of the total Government support for civil society in 2007. Sports’ activities are the main beneficiary of Government assistance (35.5%). However, in contrast to the other levels of public administration, some line ministries, such as the Ministry for Civil Affairs (covering most areas of social policy, sport and culture) and the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees, tend to support CSOs through properly organized project grants with clear, objective‐oriented application procedures. The two ministries regularly publish calls for proposals to which CSO may apply, covering a range fields, including sport, culture, support to displaced persons, minority rights (particularly Roma), and gender issues. During 2009, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has distributed a total of 1,372,200 KM (approx 690,000 EUR) to CSOs and individuals, and a total of 258 CSOs have been supported by central government from all relevant ministries and departments.
