Summary
USD 1,500, 3,000 or 5,000 microgrants for small agricultural producers, not a grant for NGOs.

Applications closed on 18 September 2026.
About the call
The UN World Food Programme, in partnership with the NGO Southern Development Strategy, gives microgrants to producers who already grow or process produce or work in livestock, beekeeping or fish farming and have sales experience. The final amount (USD 1,500, 3,000 or 5,000) is set by a joint committee; sole traders and legal entities can qualify for larger amounts.
Residents of participating communities in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, listed in the application form, may apply. Selected applicants are checked on site and receive training and mentoring on taxes, accounting, logistics, planning and sales in addition to the grant.
Indicative timeline: review by 2 October, site visits and results by 30 November, disbursement by 30 December 2026. The organiser's own announcement was not found; conditions come from regional media.
