Funding is intended for initiatives that strengthen communities, support their development and expand opportunities for residents. Eligible areas include culture, accessibility, energy resilience and other locally significant priorities.

Applicants do not need to represent a non-governmental organization or have previous project management experience. Grants of between UAH 50,000 and UAH 200,000 will be available for selected proposals.

The application window opened on November 2 and will close on December 2, 2026. Forms and competition details are available through the Ukrainian Youth Foundation, while financing is planned under Ukraine’s 2027 state budget.
