In 1986, Bíró returned to Hungary. He founded the organization Hungarian Foundation for Self-Reliance in 1990, which supported Hungary's Romani community by supporting small projects, such as purchasing land for farmers to rear livestock.[2] In 1995, he and the organisation were awarded the Right Livelihood Award "for their resolute defence of Hungary's Roma minority and effective efforts to aid their self-development."[3]
