A Community Organisation Built for Impact

Association “3D” is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation based in Kozarevetz, Veliko Tarnovo Province, Bulgaria. We were founded in November 2018 with a clear purpose: to bridge the gap between communities and opportunities — through social inclusion, civic participation, digital tools, and care for the environment.

We operate on both local and national levels, with a growing presence in transnational European cooperation. Our work reaches over 250 direct learners annually, and more than 1,500 people through our platforms and public campaigns.

Since our founding we have successfully completed four funded projects, partnered with local authorities, international organisations, and the America for Bulgaria Foundation — demonstrating consistent capacity, accountability, and real community impact.
