Dear Romanian United Fund Team,
My name is Tatiana Tuțî, President of the
NGO Construim o Țară (Building a Nation Association) and founder of the national civic initiative “Romania Is You” (România ești TU).
I am reaching out to explore a potential partnership and funding opportunity to support the expansion of our national civic engagement program across Romania.
About “Romania Is You”
“Romania Is You” is a civic platform that promotes democratic dialogue, community participation, civic responsibility, and social cohesion. Through large-scale public events, regional conferences, and recognition galas, we bring together citizens, young people, entrepreneurs, local leaders, NGOs, and public institutions to strengthen active civic culture in Romania.
Impact to Date
•
PRISPA Festival – Brașov (3 days)
– 42 county pavilions representing communities from across Romania
– Traditional parade, cultural programming, and public dialogue spaces
– Approximately 70,000 in-person participants
• “Romania Under Construction” Conferences
– Public debates on education, health, culture, business, and tourism
– Active engagement of civil society and local decision-makers
• “Romania Is You” Regional & National Galas
– Recognition of civic leaders, entrepreneurs, and community initiatives
Cumulatively, over the past year, our events have reached approximately 90,000 in-person participants nationwide, creating one of the most visible civic mobilization platforms of its kind.
Next Phase – 2026 Expansion
We aim to further develop and scale the initiative through:
• Regional “Romania Is You” Galas in 6 historical regions
• Traveling civic conferences in mid-sized and smaller cities
• Youth civic engagement workshops and leadership training
• Development of a national civic participation network
• Digital tools to facilitate ongoing citizen involvement
We believe our mission aligns strongly with RUF’s commitment to strengthening Romanian communities and supporting impactful civic and cultural initiatives.
We would be honored to share a detailed project concept for 2026, including objectives, measurable impact indicators, and a projected budget.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to the possibility of working together to strengthen civic engagement and community leadership in Romania.
With appreciation,
Tatiana Tuță
