Government-leaning nonprofit organisations gained more state subsidies than the ones which are most respected in their profession with their work, competence and sometimes criticism. National Cooperation Fund, a new and Fidesz-ruled institution is in charge now of considering state support for nonprofit organisations. National Cooperation Fund is chaired by László Csizmadia, who regularly organises pro-government mass demonstrations. A hardly browseable search engine  also helps the non-transparent decision making on the grantmaking body’s website.
