Summary

Up to UAH 1,500,000 for civil society initiatives on reform, recovery and European integration. Around 20 organisations will be supported, with projects running 6 to 12 months. This is the same call as the ISAR Ednannia third-wave project grants; the deadline has been extended to 9 October 2026.

About the call

The call is part of the Unity for Community project, implemented by ISAR Ednannia with support from the European Union. It funds initiatives that deliver systemic change in three areas: reform, recovery and European integration. Eligible activities include policy research and analysis, recovery work in education, healthcare, social protection, culture, the economy and local government, advocacy and communication campaigns, partnerships between CSOs, media and authorities, educational programmes and media support for reforms.

Most projects will have a budget of up to UAH 1,500,000, drawn up in hryvnias; administrative costs should stay within 10% of the grant. Co-financing is not mandatory but earns extra points. Projects may be local, regional or national, anywhere on government-controlled territory, and start no earlier than a month after the deadline.

Applications are submitted online through the applicant account on the ISAR Ednannia site. After a technical check and assessment by the selection committee, shortlisted organisations undergo due diligence.
