Grupa ''IZAĐI''

What Grupa ''IZAĐI'' does

Grupa ''IZAĐI'' is a Serbian civil society organization (udruženje građana) headquartered in Novi Sad, founded informally in 2010 and formally registered in 2013 to serve the LGBT+ community. It runs four core service programs: youth work with LGBT+ persons aged 15-35 (delivered through a physical social center at Kosovska 41/13 and a digital social center on Discord), free psychological counseling for LGBT+ individuals aged 16+ and their families staffed by 25 volunteer psychotherapists, education-for-inclusion programs aimed at professionals and workplaces, and a new research-driven program for LGBT+ adults aged 30-55. The organization owns the first and only physical space held by an LGBT+ association in Serbia, organizes the annual Novosadska nedelja ponosa Pride Week each May, and publishes educational manuals and good-practice guides used regionally.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally light: a Discord-based digital community center is the principal online engagement layer, supplemented by a content website (izadji.rs), a blog, and email newsletters. There is no proprietary mobile app, no AI or ML systems, and no disclosed integrations — the technology functions as community infrastructure rather than a productized platform.

Grupa ''IZAĐI'' operates as a non-profit; all services to beneficiaries are free. Revenue is derived from individual donations, institutional grants (notably EU Erasmus+), and participation in Serbian public procurement processes. Funding has scaled modestly through partnerships with Impact Hub Belgrade, the Council of Europe, the LGBTI Equal Rights Association for Western Balkans and Turkiye, and a Western Balkan consortium under the Erasmus+ CAPCOM project. Geographic scope is regional, centered on Vojvodina and Serbia, with cross-border project activity in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria.
