NGO Atlas is a register of non-governmental organizations in Lithuania, which provides an overview of all non-governmental organizations present in Lithuania and makes it easy for anyone to search for organizations of interest and see what they do, where they operate, if they search for volunteers, and who supports or sponsors them. The organizations are invited to present their activities and, in that way, ensure better visibility of their mission and activities for possible donors and residents of Lithuania.

The NGO Atlas not only contains a list of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but also includes public entities, associations or charity funds registered in Lithuania.

The list of all public entities, associations or charity funds was provided by Lithuanian Centre of Registers. In order to find newly registered organizations, TI Lithuania will update the list on a daily basis.

Organizations may voluntarily join “NGO Atlas” free of charge – however, only NGOs enjoy the right to have active profiles. Whether the organization is an NGO or not is decided according to the information they provide when completing the registration form. Each criteria is centered on the Law on Development of Non-governmental Organizations of the Republic of Lithuania and from other legal acts.

All registered NGOs get information about donors’ calls to apply for funding and also have access to information about upcoming seminars for NGOs. Furthermore, they are given the possibility to look for future partnerships more easily and to tell more about themselves both for donors and residents.
