Summary
UAH 45,000 to 220,000 for environmental projects designed and led by young people aged 15-24 in Kyiv. A team applies together with an applicant organisation - a school or university, an NGO, a museum or a municipal institution. Apply by 14 October.
About the call
Under the global Bloomberg Philanthropies Youth Climate Action Fund, the Klitschko Foundation has opened the Kyiv Youth Climate Hub - a microgrant competition for young people who want to carry out an environmental idea in a courtyard, school, university or public space in Kyiv. At least 8 projects will be supported.
A project must fit at least one of two tracks. «More greenery» covers greening courtyards and school grounds, community and therapeutic gardens, places of shade and coolness. «Less waste» covers sorting stations, repair and swap workshops, eco-habit campaigns and peer workshops.
Funds may be spent on materials and equipment, events and workshops, permits, participant transport, promotional materials, training and mentoring. One key rule: at least half of the grant must go to the activity itself rather than to buying things. No grant or environmental experience is required.
