Review process underway for 59 inspiring applications

The NATO Charity Bazaar 2026 applications closed on 1 May, and we are pleased to have received a strong response of 59 applications from 21 countries. These submissions include both Belgian and international charities, all presenting inspiring projects with the potential to create meaningful and lasting impact within NATO and partner nations.

As in previous years, all projects are designed to be achievable within 2027 and focused on delivering real benefits to the communities they support. The review process is now underway and we are carefully assessing all applications in line with NCB Regulations.

We would like to warmly thank everyone who has contributed so far — from those who helped promote the call for applications, to the teams managing submissions, and the Board members dedicating their time and expertise throughout the process.

During the General Assembly in September, National Representatives will take part in an anonymous online voting and ranking process. This approach helps ensure fairness, impartiality, and a clear focus on the quality and impact of each project.

The selected charities will be officially announced later this year, and we look forward to sharing the results of another year of strong engagement and meaningful initiatives.
