Open Estonia Foundation Explained

Open Estonia Foundation (OEF, Estonian: Avatud Eesti Fond) is an Estonian organization which supports and develops open society in Estonia. To reach its goals, OEF organizes events, initiates programmes and supports projects.[1]

OEF is established on 19 April 1990 with the support of philanthropist George Soros.

Every year, the OEF hands out its Concord Award (Estonian: Koosmeele auhind).[2]

In July 2022, Russia designated Open Estonia Foundation as an "undesirable organisation".[3]
