The mission of the foundation is to support the civil society, local development and democracy. Develops and supports initiatives based on the principles of good municipal governance and responsible citizenship and it encompasses the municipalities of Veles, Gradsko, Lozovo and Chashka.
Focus Foundation came into being as a result of the transformation of the Center for support of the NGO in Veles.

At the end of 2006 the Center has transformed itself into a local Foundation.

development of the community;

„Economic empowerment of women from the Vardar planning region” – (January 2014 – September 2016) implemented by the Focus Foundation in partnership with the IRD – Slavic NGO for International Support and Development, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia.
Through the project, 55 women have been successfully trained to make creative handmade products.
The Regional Creative Center has been opened, equipped with technical equipment and working materials for the implementation of creative workshops and the creation of creative objects.
We have technical resources and furniture for opening a souvenir shop.
Some of them have even started their own small businesses based on sales through Facebook fan pages.
