The Chavchavadze Center is the first civil society organization in Georgia modeled after European political foundations. The Center is an independent and nonpartisan institution with an ambitious, long-term vision of transforming Georgia through education, spread of critical thinking and cultivating a sense of individual responsibility.

Named after Ilia Chavchavadze, a lasting symbol of Georgia's national revival, the Center aims to promote active citizenship and civic engagement, within the overall framework of democracy promotion. It is also focused on creating a more transparent and accountable political system.

The Center is dedicated to supporting political pluralism, protecting mainstream political agenda and fostering a more informed, rational decision-making and political discourse both by citizens as well as Georgia's political class.

The main projects of the Chavchavadze Center include: "Civic Memory," "Intra-Party Democracy in Georgia," "Common Sense – Civil Society vis-à-vis Politics," "Youth for Justice," "On the Frontline – Countering Anti-Western Disinformation and Propaganda" and the quarterly "New Iveria" magazine. The Center holds regular regional meetings and thematic youth camps, designed to empower the young citizens and equip regional opinion leaders with knowledge and tools for active and effective civic participation.

In May 2025 the Chavchavadze Center became the first non-EU member of the European Network of Political Foundations (ENoP).
