Summary
Up to UAH 70,000 for women entrepreneurs (sole proprietors) running private children's spaces; this is business support, not a grant for NGOs. The call covered 10 regions, ran from 7 to 25 September 2026 and is now closed.
About the call
The Women's Opportunities in Ukraine Charitable Foundation supports private children's spaces founded by women: kindergartens, development centres, educational and creative studios, clubs and schools. The mini-grant of up to UAH 70,000 must create or substantially improve a programme, service or environment for children that keeps working after the grant ends. Areas: new programmes and reading spaces, inclusive environments, safe spaces, and services adapted for children affected by the war.
Eligible applicants were Ukrainian women registered as sole proprietors whose business has operated for at least 3 months (or relocated after 24 February 2022 with IDP status) in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. Priority goes to IDPs, military spouses, families of fallen defenders, women with disabilities and war-affected women, and to projects with an own contribution. Funds are transferred to the winner's account and the foundation pays the income tax and military levy. Results by 23 October 2026.
