Applicants can choose one or several of four lots. Applications are accepted until 6 November 2026, 23:59 Kyiv time. Since 2014, and especially since the full-scale invasion, thousands of memorials, temporary commemorative spaces, local rituals and digital memory projects have appeared in Ukraine, yet there is still no single system to make these practices consistent and sustainable.

The call has four lots: a memorial design code with advisory aesthetic, ethical and spatial principles; a guide for communities with ready-made design solutions, templates and a curated set of best practices; methods for documenting, preserving and transforming spontaneous memorials; and an atlas and knowledge base of memorialisation practices since 2014 as the basis for a future national digital infrastructure. Each grant is about UAH 1,193,000-2,386,000 (GBP 20,000-40,000) and the total budget is about UAH 5,255,000, so up to four projects lasting up to 5 months will be supported, with final reporting due by 30 June 2027. For NGOs working in public history, cultural heritage, urban planning or digital documentation, this is a chance to influence national memory policy and create tools that communities across the country will use.

Co-funding of at least 10% is required. Deadline - 13 November 2026. The Innovative Finance Challenge is a joint call of the EU-funded Mayors for Economic Growth (M4EG) initiative and the City Experiment Fund (CEF) financed by the Slovak Ministry of Finance, run by the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub. It helps municipalities in Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova and North Macedonia move from an idea to a working tool that brings new money into local development. Each selected municipality receives tailored technical support and up to USD 20,000 to design and launch its solution: legal and financial analysis, stakeholder platforms and similar steps. Applicants can pick one of six solutions from the IFC catalogue (community land trust, property tax improvement, municipal asset management and monetisation, revolving fund, civic co-financing platform, municipal bonds) or propose their own. The solution must be new to the municipality and address a concrete financing bottleneck rather than act as a generic revenue tool. The municipality contributes at least 10% of the support in cash or in kind, and participation runs from January to November 2027. For Ukrainian hromadas this is a rare chance to get UNDP expertise specifically on municipal finance while budgets are squeezed by the war.

The Global EbA Fund is managed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) with funding from Germany's International Climate Initiative (IKI). The medium-size grants call looks for projects that remove systemic barriers to ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA): protecting communities from droughts, floods or land degradation by restoring forests, wetlands, soils and natural systems rather than relying on concrete alone. Each grant is up to USD 500,000 for up to 24 months. Priorities this round are innovative EbA finance with the private sector, EbA for human development and security in fragile and conflict-affected contexts, and links between the UN climate, biodiversity and land conventions. Projects must build on existing work, involve local partners and, if focused on a specific country, allocate at least 25% of the budget to local organisations. Ukraine is on the list of ODA-eligible countries, so Ukrainian NGOs can be either the lead applicant or a local partner in an international consortium. The security and resilience topic is especially relevant for restoring damaged ecosystems and communities after the war.

The initiative must be past the idea stage. Deadline - 16 November 2026. Unearthodox is a Swiss organisation supporting unconventional environmental innovators.

Incubation runs online in English from 1 March to 31 December 2027, with regular calls scheduled between UTC-6 and UTC+6, a range that includes Ukraine. The programme seeks initiatives past the idea stage, with research, testing, a pilot or community engagement already in place. For Ukrainian environmental NGOs and initiative groups it is a way to fund experimental approaches to restoring nature and communities after the war that are hard to fit into classic donor programmes. Applications from underrepresented communities are especially welcome. **Who can apply:** - Initiatives from any country working at the intersection of environmental and societal change - Early-stage initiatives past the idea stage, with research, testing, a pilot or community engagement - Also established initiatives that need a meaningful shift in approach or model - Participants able to work in English in an online cohort **What is funded:** - Initiatives shifting worldviews and human relationships with nature - Challenging institutions built on commodification and extraction of nature - Testing, proving, deepening or pivoting systemic environmental initiatives **Not funded:** - Projects reinforcing extractive or dominant systems - Projects prioritising profit, speed or growth over purpose - Solutions addressing only surface-level symptoms rather than root causes - Concepts on paper only with no practical work **Documents:** - Online application using the form on the YouNoodle platform **How to apply:** - Read the information-for-applicants document on the call page - Complete the application on YouNoodle by 16 November 2026, 23:59 (GMT+1) - If shortlisted, take part in an interview on 14-18 December 2026 **Timeline:** - 16 November 2026 - Application deadline - 14 December 2026 - Candidate interviews - 1 March 2027 - Incubation starts **Questions and answers:** - Q: How much funding does the Unearthodox Exploration Co-Lab provide?

A: No. The initiative must be past the idea stage, with initial research, testing, a pilot or active community engagement. A concept on paper alone is not enough.

The lead must come from such a project, while new organisations can join as partners. Applications are accepted until 17 November 2026. Enhance NEB follows on from the Connect NEB and Co-create NEB programmes that the EIT Community New European Bauhaus (EIT Urban Mobility together with EIT Food and Climate KIC) funded in 2025-2026. The call lets teams take an existing local solution further through one or more pathways: deepen collaboration and consolidate results, expand partnerships, reach and target groups, or replicate a successful approach in another community adapted to local conditions. Every proposal must reflect the three New European Bauhaus values - sustainable, beautiful and together - and one of three thematic areas: urban mobility, food or climate. The total call budget is EUR 370,000, so only four projects will be selected, each with up to EUR 92,500 of EIT funding.

The lead must have taken part in a 2025 or 2026 Connect NEB or Co-create NEB project listed in Annex 4 of the Call Manual, while the other partners can be new. Ukraine is associated to Horizon Europe, so Ukrainian organisations can take part, except those registered in temporarily occupied territories. The list of eligible leads already includes Ukrainian participants, for example from Bucha, so for NGOs and hromadas this is a chance to join a strong consortium as a partner and secure funding for public space recovery. The grant is paid in instalments, with at least 25% at the start. **Who can apply:** - Consortia of 2-4 legal entities, at least two of them independent of each other - A lead that took part in a 2025 or 2026 Connect NEB or Co-create NEB project listed in Annex 4 of the Call Manual - New partners without previous NEB experience, including NGOs, charities and businesses - At least one city, municipality, other local or regional public authority, or an affiliated entity - Organisations from EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon Europe, including Ukraine **Who cannot apply:** - Consortia whose lead did not take part in Connect NEB or Co-create NEB 2025-2026 - Organisations established in Russia, Belarus or temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine - Consortia without a local or regional public authority or an affiliated entity **What is funded:** - Strengthening completed NEB projects and consolidating their results - Scaling solutions: new partners, territories and target groups - Replicating successful approaches in other communities adapted to local context - Co-designing public spaces with residents in mobility, food and climate **Not funded:** - Projects that do not build on the results of a previous Connect NEB or Co-create NEB project - Costs that are ineligible under Horizon Europe rules **Documents:** - Application following the Application Form template in the EIT Urban Mobility Programmes Portal (NetSuite) - PIC number of every partner from the European Commission Funding & Tenders portal - Declaration of Affiliation with a public authority, if the city or municipality itself is not in the consortium - Budget with at least 20% co-funding in line with the eligibility of expenditure rules - Declaration of Honour at the agreement signature stage **How to apply:** - Check that the lead is on the list of eligible partners (Annex 4 of the Call Manual) and build a consortium with a public authority - Obtain a PIC number for every partner on the Funding & Tenders portal - Register in the EIT Urban Mobility Programmes Portal (NetSuite) and open the call under Grant Management - Open Calls - Complete the application following the Guidelines for Applicants and submit by 17 November 2026, 17:00 CET - Pass the eligibility check and expert evaluation, with results expected in January 2027 **Timeline:** - 15 September 2026 - Call opens - 17 November 2026 - Application deadline - 31 January 2027 - Results announced (indicative) - 1 March 2027 - Projects start - 28 February 2028 - Projects end **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can a Ukrainian NGO apply to Enhance NEB 2027 without a previous Connect NEB project?

Brazil, Indonesia, India and Mexico are priorities, but places are also open to other countries, so Ukrainian NGOs can apply.

There are two tracks: Seed (USD 500,000 to under 1 million) for early concepts that still need a first city pilot, and Scale (USD 1-2 million) for solutions that have shown results in a pilot.

Focus areas: public health, economic mobility, environmental resilience (including energy and emergency services) and civic engagement. Software built with the grant must be published under an open-source licence. For Ukrainian NGOs and university labs already working with city councils on digital services, this is a chance at large-scale funding: Ukrainian cities deal daily with energy resilience, emergency response and access to social services. The city council itself cannot apply - it provides a letter of intent.

Foreign non-profit organisations, including Ukrainian NGOs, submit a short three-page Statement of Interest by 7 December 2026. The Office of International Religious Freedom (DRL/IRF) of the US Department of State has opened a global competition for fiscal year 2026. Selection has two stages: organisations first send a concise 3-page concept (Statement of Interest), and the authors of the strongest ideas are invited to develop a full proposal. Programmes must address one of four goals: changes in laws and policies and accountability for violations, mutual respect between communities and countering religious discrimination, quality media information on religious freedom, and resilience of religious communities to pressure from authoritarian governments. The total budget is up to USD 40 million, with 15-25 grants or cooperative agreements of USD 1 to 3 million each expected. No cost share is required. Single-country projects are preferred, and multi-country proposals may cover at most three countries in the same region. Themes the donor names explicitly include documentation of and accountability for violations, legal protection for people persecuted for their faith, preservation of religious and cultural heritage, countering antisemitism and other religious hatred, and strengthening civil society capacity. Humanitarian aid, purely academic research and exchanges and micro-loans are typically not competitive. For Ukrainian organisations this is a chance to secure large multi-year funding for human rights work related to faith: documenting persecution of religious communities and clergy in the occupied territories, legal aid, protecting damaged places of worship and heritage, and interfaith dialogue. Foreign NGOs can apply directly without a US partner, and SAM.gov registration is only needed for those invited to the second stage. At the same time this is a demanding donor: applicants must show a track record in human rights programmes, sound financial management and the capacity to manage a US government award, and must take into account State Department conditions on alignment with US foreign policy goals. **Who can apply:** - Foreign-based non-profit and non-governmental organisations, including Ukrainian NGOs and charitable foundations - US-based non-profit organisations (with or without 501(c)(3) status) - Public international organisations - Private, public or state institutions of higher education - For-profit organisations (the donor prefers non-profits, and no profit may be made from the award) **Who cannot apply:** - Organisations and individuals on the Excluded Parties List in SAM.gov - Organisations with a current debt to the US government - Organisations linked to designated terrorist organisations **What is funded:** - Adoption and implementation of laws and policies that protect religious freedom, and accountability for violations - Mutual respect between faith communities and countering religious discrimination and violence - Media programmes: public access to quality information on religious freedom - Resilience of religious communities and leaders to pressure from authoritarian governments - Documentation of violations and legal protection for people persecuted for their faith - Preservation of religious and cultural heritage - Capacity building of civil society and officials on religious freedom **Not funded:** - Humanitarian aid - English language instruction - Development of advanced software or hardware - Purely academic exchanges or fellowships, and exchanges longer than 6 months - Theoretical studies without training or capacity building for local civil society - Micro-loans and small business development - Activities that directly benefit foreign military or paramilitary groups **Documents:** - Completed and signed SF-424 and SF-424B forms (via MyGrants or Grants.gov) - Cover page: programme title, period of performance, budget, place of performance, known partners, category - Statement of Interest of up to 3 pages in English: objectives, activities, expected results, theory of change, risk analysis, organisational capacity **How to apply:** - Read the announcement (RSOI) and the PSI guidance on the DFOP0019929 opportunity page on Grants.gov - Choose one of the four programme goals and the country of performance (single-country projects are preferred) - Prepare a cover page and a Statement of Interest of up to 3 pages in English, with a USD 1-3 million budget for 24-48 months - Submit the SF-424, SF-424B, cover page and SOI via MyGrants or Grants.gov by 7 December 2026, 11:59 PM ET - Start UEI registration in SAM.gov in parallel - it is mandatory if you are invited to submit a full application - Send technical questions about the call to IRFGrants@state.gov **Timeline:** - 26 October 2026 - Call announced - 7 December 2026 - Statement of Interest deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can Ukrainian NGOs apply to the DRL/IRF call directly? A: Yes. The call is global and foreign-based non-profit and non-governmental organisations are explicitly eligible. No US partner is required. - Q: Is SAM.gov registration needed for the first stage? A: No. A UEI and SAM.gov registration are not required to submit a Statement of Interest, but they are mandatory for the full application if you are invited to the second stage, so it is worth starting early.

Fixed amounts: EUR 50 per day per resident for the host plus daily and travel allowances for residents. Deadline - 18 January 2027. Culture Moves Europe is the mobility scheme of the EU Creative Europe programme, implemented by the Goethe-Institut on behalf of the European Commission. The call for residency hosts funds one residency project: an organisation invites 1 to 5 artists or cultural professionals legally residing in another Creative Europe country and works with them towards two of five objectives - to create, learn, explore, connect or transform. Eligible sectors are architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literature, music, performing arts and visual arts. The grant uses fixed rates regardless of actual costs: the host receives EUR 50 per day per resident, and each resident receives a EUR 30 daily allowance and EUR 400 or 800 for travel depending on distance. Top-ups for green mobility, visas, children and accessibility can be requested. The maximum per project is EUR 55,000, or EUR 60,000 including accessibility support. The residency must be continuous and last 21-90 days between 12 April 2027 and 31 March 2028; about 60% of places go to short residencies of up to 31 days. Ukraine is a full Creative Europe participant, so Ukrainian NGOs, museums, libraries, cultural centres and art spaces can act as hosts themselves. It is a rare chance to get European funding for your own residency programme without a partner consortium: you need working and living space for residents and at least one mentor from your team. Language skills are not assessed, and online translation tools may be used for the application. **Who can apply:** - Legal entities registered in a Creative Europe country, including Ukraine - Newly or well-established entities active in architecture, cultural heritage, design, literature, music, performing or visual arts - Organisations able to provide residents with workspace, accommodation and a mentor **Who cannot apply:** - Entities subject to EU sanctions - Entities whose staff are in the Culture Moves Europe evaluator pool or employed by the Goethe-Institut or EU institutions - Multiple applications from one entity - only the first is considered **What is funded:** - A residency for 1-5 artists or cultural professionals from other Creative Europe countries - A hosting allowance of EUR 50 per day per resident (accommodation, mentor fees, etc.) - Residents' daily allowance of EUR 30 and travel allowance of EUR 400 or 800 - Top-ups for green mobility, visas, children and accessibility support **Not funded:** - Residencies shorter than 21 days or longer than 90 days - Residencies split into separate phases - Projects that charge residents a participation fee **Documents:** - Proof of the legal entity - Artistic portfolio or promotional report of the organisation - Short CV of each mentor - In phase 2 - a residency info card with details of each resident (ID, CV, portfolio, proof of legal residence) **How to apply:** - Read the call document on the Culture Moves Europe page carefully - Create an account on the Goethe-Application Portal as «Organisation/Enterprise» and select «Culture Moves Europe funding» - «call for residency hosts 2026-2027» - Complete the form in English and upload the documents by 18 January 2027, 23:59 CET - If selected (results by 9 March 2027), choose residents and submit the residency info card by 31 July 2027 **Timeline:** - 15 October 2026 - Call opens - 18 January 2027 - Application deadline - 9 March 2027 - Results announced - 12 April 2027 - Earliest residency start **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can a Ukrainian organisation host residents under Culture Moves Europe?

A: With fixed rates: EUR 50 per day per resident for the host, EUR 30 daily allowance and EUR 400 or 800 travel allowance per resident, plus top-ups where relevant.

The topic budget is EUR 3.5 million and Ukraine fully participates in the programme. Deadline - 20 January 2027. The CREA-CROSS-2027-MEDIALITERACY topic of the Creative Europe Cross-sectoral strand supports innovative cross-border projects that help people approach media critically, recognise disinformation and foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), and navigate the digital space safely. The focus is on adults outside the education system and groups that media literacy programmes rarely reach. It funds multilingual campaigns and interactive content, media literacy tools (prototypes are allowed, but the project cannot be only IT development), training for citizens, educators and content creators, public events and workshops, and community-led adaptation of materials. Proposals need a needs analysis of the target countries and groups and a mapping of existing initiatives; involving journalists, influencers, gamers and artists and cooperating with EDMO regional hubs is encouraged. For Ukrainian NGOs this is one of the few EU calls dedicated to media literacy in which Ukraine is a full participating country: an organisation can coordinate or join a consortium. The call asks applicants to consider countries highly exposed to disinformation, so experience countering Russian propaganda is a strong asset. Projects last up to 24 months and financial support to third parties is not allowed. **Who can apply:** - Public and private legal entities from EU Member States and Creative Europe participating countries, including Ukraine - A consortium of at least three independent organisations from three different participating countries - Media literacy organisations, NGOs, public authorities (national, regional, local), universities, media, research institutions, technology providers - International organisations **Who cannot apply:** - Natural persons (except sole traders without separate legal personality) - Entities subject to EU restrictive measures **What is funded:** - Multilingual campaigns and interactive content on media and disinformation - Development and deployment of media literacy tools - Training for citizens, educators and content creators - Public events and workshops sharing practices across countries - Community-led adaptation of media literacy materials **Not funded:** - Projects focused only on IT development - Financial support to third parties (sub-grants) **Documents:** - Administrative form Part A (filled in online in the Submission System) - Technical description Part B using the Submission System template - up to 50 pages - Part C with project data and indicators (online) - No mandatory annexes; legal entity validation documents may be requested later **How to apply:** - Create an EU Login and register each consortium member in the Participant Register (get a PIC) - Build a consortium of at least three organisations from three participating countries and prepare a needs analysis - Fill in Part A and Part C online and upload Part B in the Submission System on the topic page - Submit via the Funding & Tenders Portal by 20 January 2027, 17:00 Brussels time **Timeline:** - 22 October 2026 - Submission opens - 29 October 2026 - EACEA online info session - 20 January 2027 - Application deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can a Ukrainian NGO coordinate a NEWS - Media Literacy project? A: Yes. Ukraine participates in the Creative Europe Programme, so Ukrainian legal entities can act as coordinators or partners in a consortium of at least three organisations from three countries. - Q: What share of costs does the Media Literacy grant cover? A: The grant reimburses 70% of eligible costs, up to EUR 500,000 per project. The consortium covers the rest from its own or other resources.

The call is not about showcasing European culture but about working together as equals: co-creation, dialogue and mutual learning with local partners. Themes include cultural rights and democracy, artistic freedom, empowerment of cultural professionals, youth participation, resilience and peacebuilding, heritage protection, and the digital and green transformation of the cultural industries. A project can receive up to EUR 45,000; partners must add at least 5% co-funding, which may be in kind. A triangular partnership is mandatory: at least three local cultural or civil society organisations (public bodies are allowed), at least three EUNIC members (or two where there is no EUNIC cluster in the country) and the EU Delegation, which endorses and takes part in the project. One of the EUNIC members signs the grant agreement, receives the funds and allocates them among partners. Implementation runs from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2028; the first call will support an estimated 9 projects. Ukraine is among the countries where projects can take place, and the call explicitly welcomes proposals from countries facing security and societal challenges. For Ukrainian NGOs, museums and cultural centres it is a chance to obtain European funding and partnerships with the national culture institutes of EU countries without a grant agreement of their own with the donor. The Ukrainian Institute, an associate member of EUNIC, can also take part as a EUNIC member. Before writing the application, it is worth rallying partners around a short concept note and contacting the EU Delegation to Ukraine. **Who can apply:** - Triangular partnerships for projects in non-EU countries (excluding Sub-Saharan Africa), including Ukraine - At least 3 local cultural or civil society organisations, including public bodies - At least 3 EUNIC members (or 2 where there is no EUNIC cluster); the Ukrainian Institute can take part as a EUNIC member - The EU Delegation in the country, which endorses and takes part in the project **Who cannot apply:** - Single organisations without a triangular partnership - Projects in EU countries and in Sub-Saharan Africa **What is funded:** - International cultural relations projects based on co-creation and dialogue - Fees for artists and experts, travel and accommodation, venue and equipment rental - Production of materials, communication, external coordinators and consultants - Research, feasibility studies and capacity building as preparatory steps **Not funded:** - Equipment purchases not directly related to project activities - Overheads and partners' permanent staff costs - Infrastructure development - One-off events without broader cooperation **Documents:** - Application form in English using the programme template - Balanced budget in EUR using the template, with a justification of each line - Support letters from all partners using the template (the EU Delegation may send its support by email) **How to apply:** - Find at least 3 local partners and 3 EUNIC members and involve the EU Delegation, agreeing a short concept note with them - Form a coordination team (local partner, EUNIC member, EU Delegation) and designate the EUNIC member who will sign the grant agreement - Complete the application form in English and the budget in EUR, and collect support letters from all partners - Email the complete package to spacesofculture@eunicglobal.eu by 29 January 2027, 23:59 CET **Timeline:** - 26 November 2026 - Webinar 2: partnership and project support - 12 January 2027 - Webinar 3: application clinic - 29 January 2027 - Application deadline - 1 March 2027 - Project implementation starts - 31 March 2028 - Project implementation ends **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can a Ukrainian NGO receive a European Spaces of Culture grant?

The 2026 theme is Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3); national NGO projects compete for USD 300,000 and international and regional NGO projects for USD 400,000. Nominations are accepted until 15 February 2027 and must come from a third party. The Prince Talal International Prize for Human Development is an annual award by the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND), running since 1999. It does not fund new ideas: only completed projects with an evaluation of results, or ongoing projects with at least the first phase completed and evaluated, are considered. Each year the Prize Committee selects one of the Sustainable Development Goals as the theme, and for the 2026 Prize it is SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being. AGFUND pays particular attention to vulnerable groups, above all women and children. The total prize fund is USD 1,000,000 split into four categories: USD 400,000 for projects by UN agencies and international and regional NGOs, USD 300,000 for projects by national NGOs, USD 200,000 for government bodies and social business enterprises, and USD 100,000 for projects by individuals. Winners also receive certificates and trophies. The prize money is not unrestricted: each winner signs a letter of intent with AGFUND on using the funds to expand, sustain or replicate the project. Self-nomination is not allowed: the nomination is made by a third party - another NGO, international organisation, government body, university, research centre, trade union or expert that was not involved in implementing or funding the project. For Ukrainian organisations that already have completed and evaluated health projects - community healthcare, mental health, rehabilitation, support for mothers and children - this is an opportunity for international recognition and a significant sum for scaling up. Keep in mind that the prize targets projects in developing countries, all documents must be in English, and the nomination requires completion reports and an independent evaluation. A non-winning project can only be resubmitted after three years, so it is worth entering with your strongest case. **Who can apply:** - Projects by national NGOs (second category, USD 300,000) - Projects by UN agencies and international and regional NGOs (first category, USD 400,000) - Projects by government bodies and social business enterprises (third category, USD 200,000, purely nationally designed and funded projects only) - Projects initiated and implemented by individuals (fourth category, USD 100,000) - Nominators can be UN bodies, international, regional and national NGOs, government agencies, universities, research centres, trade unions and experts not linked to the project **Who cannot apply:** - Organisations nominating their own project (self-nomination is not allowed) - Nominators involved in implementing or funding the project - For-profit projects - Projects outside the annual theme, and ideas or research not yet implemented and evaluated - Projects that competed for the Prize less than three years ago **What is funded:** - A prize for an already implemented and evaluated project on SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being - Expansion, sustainability or replication of the winning project (under a letter of intent with AGFUND) **Documents:** - Online nomination form on the AGFUND website - Official nomination letter from a third party with justification - Official recommendation letter(s) from another third party - Full project document with annexes (work plan, schedule, budget, financial information) - Project budget and financial statements if not in the project document - Project completion reports (for ongoing projects, of the first or other phases) - Project evaluation report - Latest annual report of the implementing organisation (if available) - Materials on project activities: photos, videos, printed materials **How to apply:** - Make sure the project is completed and evaluated (or at least its first phase) and fits the health and well-being theme - Find a third-party nominator not involved in the project and a separate recommending body - Prepare all documents in English: nomination letter, recommendations, project document, budget, completion and evaluation reports - The nominator completes the online form on the AGFUND website and uploads the documents by 15 February 2027 - Files too large to upload can be sent to rewards@agfund.org - Winners are selected by the Prize Committee after expert evaluation; the award ceremony is usually held in October of the following year **Timeline:** - 15 February 2027 - Nomination deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can an NGO submit its own project for the Prince Talal Prize?

The topic budget is EUR 14 million, the coordinator must be a non-profit organisation, and Ukraine participates in CERV. Deadline - 24 February 2027. The CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-HOLOCAUSTJEW topic of the European Remembrance call under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme funds projects on the Shoah and its legacy. The call document explicitly mentions the instrumentalisation of the Holocaust by Kremlin propaganda about the «denazification» of Ukraine, as well as the politicisation of memory and the conflation of the Shoah with conflicts in the Middle East. Projects can examine how the Holocaust happened and who was involved, counter denial, distortion and trivialisation, monitor these phenomena online, support grassroots memory initiatives, digitise testimonies and archives, raise awareness of Jewish life before and after the Shoah, mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, work with memorial sites (including the ESHEM network) and promote provenance research on looted art. Target groups include teachers, history students, young people, local authorities, journalists and migrants. Direct participation of target groups in events is required. The grant is a lump sum, and projects last 12-24 months and can be national or transnational. Ukraine participates in CERV in all strands except Union Values, and European Remembrance is not part of it, so Ukrainian NGOs, museums, memorials and universities can apply.

The topic budget is EUR 4 million, the coordinator must be a non-profit organisation, and Ukraine participates in CERV. Deadline - 24 February 2027. The CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-TRANSITION topic of the European Remembrance call under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme focuses on how European countries emerged from communist and fascist dictatorships and built democratic institutions and the rule of law. The call document stresses that the experience of the 1920s-1930s and of later transitions helps defend democracy today, at a time of falling trust in institutions and falsification of history through foreign interference. Projects can tell the story of the path from totalitarianism to democracy, compare shared patterns and national specificities of these transitions, give visibility to resistance and organised opposition to the regimes, recall how freedom of expression, assembly, religion and electoral rights were suppressed, and explore the tools of historical justice - trials, restitution, amnesty and restorative justice. Training, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal education, digitisation of testimonies, publications and online tools with direct participation of target groups are supported. The grant is a lump sum, and projects last 12-24 months and can be national or transnational (transnational projects are encouraged). Ukraine participates in CERV in all strands except Union Values, so Ukrainian NGOs, museums, archives, universities and hromadas can apply. The topic is close to Ukraine's own history: Soviet totalitarianism, the dissident movement, the path to independence in 1991 and today's fight against Russian manipulation of history. The topic budget is small, so competition will be strong, and a coordinator may submit only one application across the whole call. **Who can apply:** - Coordinator: a non-profit legal entity (public or private) or an international organisation from the EU or a CERV-associated country, including Ukraine - Co-applicants: non-profit or for-profit legal entities (for-profit only in partnership with public or non-profit entities) - At least two applicants: a coordinator and at least one co-applicant - NGOs, museums, archives, memorial centres, universities, educational institutions, local authorities **Who cannot apply:** - For-profit organisations as coordinators - Entities subject to EU restrictive measures **What is funded:** - Research and outreach on transitions from totalitarian and authoritarian regimes to democracy - Projects on resistance and organised opposition to communist and fascist dictatorships - Education on the suppression of freedom of expression, assembly, religion and electoral rights - Research on historical justice: trials, restitution, amnesty, restorative justice - Countering falsification of history and foreign interference, media literacy - Training, exhibitions, debates, digitisation of testimonies, online tools **Not funded:** - Financial support to third parties (sub-grants) - Activities without direct participation of target groups - Projects covering several topics of the call at once (an application must address only one topic) **Documents:** - Administrative form Part A with the lump sum budget (filled in online) - Technical description Part B using the Submission System template - up to 70 pages - Part C (KPI) with project indicators (online, all sections) - List of previous projects from the last 4 years (not needed for organisations younger than 12 months) - Child protection policy (private entities) or declaration (public entities) - if the project involves children **How to apply:** - Create an EU Login and register the organisations in the Participant Register (get a PIC) - Find at least one co-applicant and choose a non-profit coordinator - Build the lump sum budget in Part A, fill in Part C and upload Part B and annexes - Submit via the Funding & Tenders Portal by 24 February 2027, 17:00 Brussels time **Timeline:** - 21 October 2026 - Submission opens - 5 November 2026 - EACEA online info session (registration by 30 October) - 24 February 2027 - Application deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Does a project on Ukraine's Soviet past and dissidents fit the TRANSITION topic? A: Yes, the topic explicitly covers transitions from communist and fascist dictatorships to democracy, resistance to these regimes and the suppression of rights and freedoms. The project should show how this experience helps defend democracy today. - Q: How much funding is available in the CERV democratic transitions topic? A: The topic budget is EUR 4 million out of EUR 28 million for the whole call. A single project can receive EUR 50,000 to 500,000 as a lump sum.

The priority budget is EUR 2.5 million, the coordinator must be a non-profit organisation, and Ukraine participates in CERV. Deadline - 24 February 2027. The CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-GENCRIME-1 priority of the European Remembrance call under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme funds projects on the genocide of Roma, Sinti and Travellers under Nazi rule, known as Porajmos or Samudaripen. The call document recalls that about 500,000 people were murdered, yet this history is still largely absent from school curricula, museums and public memorials. Priority goes to projects that link genocide remembrance with tackling the deeper roots of antigypsyism, in line with the EU Roma Strategic Framework 2020-2030. Projects can document the crimes and their wider context (Roma slavery, post-war persecution, forced assimilation and sterilisation), counter denial and minimisation, build networks of Roma and non-Roma youth ambassadors, support grassroots events around 2 August (European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day) and 16 May (Romani Resistance Day), develop teaching materials, digitise testimonies and archives, research restitution, tell the stories of Roma heroes, rescuers, artists and community leaders, and use transitional justice approaches and artistic memory work. The grant is a lump sum, and projects last 12-24 months and can be national or transnational. Ukraine participates in CERV in all strands except Union Values, so Ukrainian NGOs, including Roma organisations, museums and universities, can apply. Roma were victims of mass shootings in the Nazi-occupied Ukrainian lands, and this memory is still little researched, so the topic carries real weight for Ukraine. Projects on Roma victims must apply under this priority only, and a coordinator may submit only one application across the whole call. **Who can apply:** - Coordinator: a non-profit legal entity (public or private) or an international organisation from the EU or a CERV-associated country, including Ukraine - Co-applicants: non-profit or for-profit legal entities (for-profit only in partnership with public or non-profit entities) - At least two applicants: a coordinator and at least one co-applicant - Roma and human rights NGOs, museums, memorials, educational institutions, universities, local authorities **Who cannot apply:** - For-profit organisations as coordinators - Entities subject to EU restrictive measures **What is funded:** - Documenting the genocide of Roma and Sinti and its historical context - Countering denial, distortion and minimisation of Roma victimhood, fighting antigypsyism - Networks of Roma and non-Roma youth remembrance ambassadors - Events around 2 August and 16 May, grassroots commemoration initiatives - Teaching materials on Roma history, digitisation of testimonies and archives - Research on restitution, forced displacement and stories of Roma resistance **Not funded:** - Financial support to third parties (sub-grants) - Activities without direct participation of target groups - Projects on the Holocaust against Jewish people (covered by the separate HOLOCAUSTJEW topic) **Documents:** - Administrative form Part A with the lump sum budget (filled in online) - Technical description Part B using the Submission System template - up to 70 pages - Part C (KPI) with project indicators (online, all sections) - List of previous projects from the last 4 years (not needed for organisations younger than 12 months) - Child protection policy (private entities) or declaration (public entities) - if the project involves children **How to apply:** - Create an EU Login and register the organisations in the Participant Register (get a PIC) - Find at least one co-applicant and choose a non-profit coordinator - Build the lump sum budget in Part A, fill in Part C and upload Part B and annexes - Submit via the Funding & Tenders Portal by 24 February 2027, 17:00 Brussels time **Timeline:** - 21 October 2026 - Submission opens - 5 November 2026 - EACEA online info session (registration by 30 October) - 24 February 2027 - Application deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can a Ukrainian Roma NGO apply under the GENCRIME-1 priority? A: Yes, if it is a non-profit legal entity and has at least one partner as co-applicant. Ukraine participates in CERV, and the European Remembrance call is open to Ukrainian organisations. - Q: How does GENCRIME-1 differ from GENCRIME-2? A: GENCRIME-1 covers only the remembrance of Roma victims, while GENCRIME-2 covers LGBTIQ+ and other victims of genocides and crimes against humanity. Roma-focused projects must apply under GENCRIME-1, and each priority has a budget of EUR 2.5 million.

The priority budget is EUR 2.5 million, the coordinator must be a non-profit organisation, and Ukraine participates in CERV. Deadline - 24 February 2027. The CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-GENCRIME-2 priority of the European Remembrance call under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme supports projects on the non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust and on other genocides, war crimes and crimes against humanity in 20th century Europe, including those committed by communist and fascist regimes. There is a particular focus on LGBTIQ+ people: the call document recalls that under the Nazis about 50,000 gay and bisexual men were sentenced and 10,000-15,000 were sent to concentration camps, while the experiences of lesbian women and transgender people went unrecognised for decades. Projects can examine how the crimes were organised and the roles of perpetrators, collaborators and bystanders, find new inclusive forms of remembrance and education (artistic memory projects, memory activism), run training and awareness campaigns on the persecution of LGBTIQ+ people and other minorities, counter historical falsification, memory competition and false comparisons, address divergent national narratives at regional level and digitise testimonies and archives. The priority is linked to the LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy 2026-2030. The grant is a lump sum, and projects last 12-24 months and can be national or transnational. Ukraine participates in CERV in all strands except Union Values, so Ukrainian human rights and LGBTIQ+ organisations, museums and universities can apply. For Ukraine the topic echoes the Soviet criminalisation of male homosexuality, abolished only in 1991, and the wording on «other victims» of totalitarian regimes may also cover little-known chapters of repression. Projects on Roma victims go to the separate GENCRIME-1 priority, and projects on the Holocaust against Jewish people to the HOLOCAUSTJEW topic. **Who can apply:** - Coordinator: a non-profit legal entity (public or private) or an international organisation from the EU or a CERV-associated country, including Ukraine - Co-applicants: non-profit or for-profit legal entities (for-profit only in partnership with public or non-profit entities) - At least two applicants: a coordinator and at least one co-applicant - Human rights and LGBTIQ+ NGOs, museums, memorials, archives, universities, local authorities **Who cannot apply:** - For-profit organisations as coordinators - Entities subject to EU restrictive measures **What is funded:** - Research and education on the persecution of LGBTIQ+ people in the 20th century, including under the Nazis - Remembrance of other insufficiently recognised victims of genocides, war crimes and crimes of totalitarian regimes - Analysis of the roles of perpetrators, collaborators and bystanders - Artistic memory projects and memory activism - Countering falsification of history, denial and false comparisons - Regional dialogue on divergent national narratives, digitisation of testimonies **Not funded:** - Financial support to third parties (sub-grants) - Activities without direct participation of target groups - Projects on Roma victims (apply under GENCRIME-1) and on the Holocaust against Jewish people (HOLOCAUSTJEW topic) **Documents:** - Administrative form Part A with the lump sum budget (filled in online) - Technical description Part B using the Submission System template - up to 70 pages - Part C (KPI) with project indicators (online, all sections) - List of previous projects from the last 4 years (not needed for organisations younger than 12 months) - Child protection policy (private entities) or declaration (public entities) - if the project involves children **How to apply:** - Create an EU Login and register the organisations in the Participant Register (get a PIC) - Find at least one co-applicant and choose a non-profit coordinator - Build the lump sum budget in Part A, fill in Part C and upload Part B and annexes - Submit via the Funding & Tenders Portal by 24 February 2027, 17:00 Brussels time **Timeline:** - 21 October 2026 - Submission opens - 5 November 2026 - EACEA online info session (registration by 30 October) - 24 February 2027 - Application deadline **Questions and answers:** - Q: Does a GENCRIME-2 project have to focus on LGBTIQ+ people? A: No. The priority covers LGBTIQ+ and other insufficiently recognised victims of genocides, war crimes and crimes against humanity in 20th century Europe, except Roma victims (GENCRIME-1) and the Holocaust against Jewish people (HOLOCAUSTJEW). - Q: How much funding is available under GENCRIME-2?

The topic budget is EUR 5 million, the coordinator must be a non-profit organisation, and Ukraine participates in CERV. Deadline - 24 February 2027. The CERV-2026-CITIZENS-REM-HISTMIGRATION topic of the European Remembrance call under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme funds projects on how colonialism, slavery, imperialism and migration have shaped today's European societies. The call document links this remembrance to the EU Anti-Racism Strategy 2026-2030: understanding the historical roots helps counter structural racism, antisemitism, antigypsyism, anti-Muslim hatred and racism against people of African and Asian descent. A separate strand is the history of migration in 20th century Europe: economic and political migration, expulsion and deportation after the Second World War, flight from violence, forced displacement and internal displacement during wars, the persecution of Roma, and the history of female migration. Projects can acknowledge the legacy of colonialism, develop anti-racism education and historical literacy for young people and educators, collect testimonies, archives and community knowledge, raise awareness of Roma history and culture and take an intersectional approach across minority groups. The grant is a lump sum, and projects last 12-24 months and can be national or transnational. Ukraine participates in CERV in all strands except Union Values, so Ukrainian NGOs, museums, archives and universities can apply. For Ukraine the most natural entry point is the experience of 20th century forced deportations and resettlements and today's mass forced displacement, which can be explored in a European context together with EU partners.

The Audience Development and Film Education topic of the Creative Europe MEDIA strand supports pan-European projects that build interest in European films and other audiovisual works, including video games and immersive content.

Concept notes are accepted on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline. The Global Fund for Community Foundations supports organisations that use grantmaking as a deliberate development strategy: devolving resources and decisions to local groups, building a culture of local philanthropy and strengthening trust and networks in communities. Priority regions are Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. Grants are normally USD 7,000-20,000, depending on annual budget, nature of activities and whether the organisation is already known to the GFCF. Funding is usually for an initial year with possible follow-on support; participation in a learning network or grantee convening may be a condition. Funds can strengthen the organisation itself (grantmaking systems, governance, fundraising, communications) or test new approaches such as participatory grantmaking. Selection has two stages: a concept note first and, if it meets the criteria, an invitation to a full online application. The GFCF combines proactive invitations with open competitive processes when resources allow, so a concept note does not guarantee an invitation. **Who can apply:** - Community foundations - Women's and environmental funds - National public foundations - Grassroots grantmakers and other community philanthropy organisations **Who cannot apply:** - Organisations that do not do grantmaking in their community **What is funded:** - Strengthening grantmaking systems, governance and communications - Fundraising and organisational sustainability - Piloting new approaches, including participatory grantmaking **Documents:** - Concept note (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish or Russian) - Full online application in English - for invited organisations **How to apply:** - Check eligibility on the Who can apply page - Send a concept note to info@globalfundcf.org or via the online form - If invited, submit the full application in English **Questions and answers:** - Q: Does a concept note guarantee an invitation to a full GFCF application?

There is no fixed amount - the package is tailored to needs. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but no later than 30 days after the incident. The Emergency Fund is a programme of the charitable organisation Dobra Fabryka Ukraine for local humanitarian organisations whose work has been hit by the war. The trigger is an incident within the past 30 days: damage to premises, property or equipment, physical or psychological harm to staff, or another sudden event that disrupts the organisation's work. The application form also has a separate preparedness component for organisations working in oblasts close to the front line. The programme does not transfer money - assistance comes as goods and services matched to specific needs. This can include generators, power stations and solar solutions, Starlink and modems, laptops and other IT, heaters, basic security equipment, body armour, helmets and first-aid kits, insurance, medicine vouchers, individual and team psychological support, as well as legal and accounting advice, data protection support and training. According to the organiser, initial support may arrive about 7-14 days after the application is approved. For Ukrainian NGOs this is one of the few mechanisms that covers losses after a strike rather than project activity. The form sets clear thresholds: the organisation must have been officially registered for at least 2 years, hold non-profit status and have implemented at least three humanitarian projects or programmes for war-affected people. Organisations may apply again after each new incident. **Who can apply:** - NGOs and charitable organisations or foundations doing humanitarian work in any region of Ukraine - Organisations affected by an attack or another incident within the past 30 days - Officially registered for at least 2 years, with non-profit status - Organisations that have already implemented 3 or more projects or programmes for war-affected people - Organisations that have received support under other programme components **Who cannot apply:** - Unregistered initiatives and volunteer groups - Organisations registered for less than 2 years - Organisations without non-profit status **What is funded:** - Generators, power stations, power banks and solar solutions - Starlink, modems and signal boosters - Laptops, tablets, smartphones, printers and routers - Heaters, air conditioners and basic security equipment (alarms, fire extinguishers, security film) - Body armour, helmets, first-aid kits and staff insurance - Medicine vouchers, individual and team psychological support - Legal and accounting advice, data protection, software and training **Documents:** - Emergency Fund online application form - Extract from the EDRPOU register (proof of registration) - Extract from the Register of non-profit institutions and organisations - Financial reports for 2023, 2024 and 2025 - Supporting documents on the incident (damage report, photos, etc.) **How to apply:** - Within 30 days of the incident, complete the Emergency Fund online form - Attach the EDRPOU extract, non-profit status extract, financial reports and incident documents (or email them to EmergencyFund@dobrafabryka.pl) - If needed, clarify the terms by phone on +38 067 737 02 00 or by email - Once approved, receive the agreed assistance package, typically within 7-14 days **Questions and answers:** - Q: When must an organisation apply to the Emergency Fund? A: No later than 30 days after the incident. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and organisations can apply again after a new incident. - Q: Does the Emergency Fund transfer money? A: No. Assistance is provided as goods and services: equipment, protective gear, insurance, psychological support and consultations - the package is tailored to the organisation's needs.

There is no fixed deadline or announced amount; applications are submitted in Ukrainian through the Electronic Competition system and review usually takes 1-2 months. Each year the International Renaissance Foundation announces dozens of thematic calls, but it also keeps a separate mechanism open for non-competition proposals. It exists so that socially significant ideas that do not fit current calls by topic or timing can still receive support. The key condition is alignment with the foundation's strategy and the priorities of one of its five programmes: Civic Resilience (IDPs, veterans, families of the fallen), Social Capital, Human Rights and Justice, Democracy and Good Governance, and Europe and the World. The foundation advises first briefly describing the idea, target audience and goal to staff of the relevant programme, then completing the standard application form, the same one used for calls. It is accompanied by a detailed budget, a state register extract and charter, CVs of external experts and letters of support if the project involves cooperation with a community or authorities. If another donor already covers part of the costs, you can request co-funding only for the remaining items. If supported, the content of the application becomes part of the grant agreement. For NGOs and charitable foundations this is one of the few Ukrainian mechanisms where you can submit your own idea without being tied to a deadline. Competition is high, though: foundation staff assess the application first, then the programme Expert Council and sometimes the Board, and reasons for refusal are not shared. So it is worth showing clearly how the project advances the programme's priorities and not delaying the submission. **Who can apply:** - Civil society organisations registered in Ukraine with founding documents (state register extract, charter) - Organisations with an idea that fits the foundation's strategy and the priorities of one of its five programmes - Organisations that already have partial funding from other donors and seek co-funding for the remaining costs **What is funded:** - Protection and support of IDPs, war veterans and families of the fallen, and community cohesion - Building communities and public dialogue based on democratic values - Holding Russia accountable for war crimes, justice reform and protection of fundamental freedoms - Resilient democracy and transparent, accountable governance - European integration and reforms in human rights and the rule of law **Documents:** - Standard International Renaissance Foundation application form (application package on the Contests and Tenders page) - Detailed project budget using the foundation's form - Organisation's founding documents: state register extract and charter - CVs of implementers, if external experts are involved - Letters of support or memoranda, if the project involves cooperation with a community, authorities or other organisations **How to apply:** - Read the foundation's strategy and programme priorities in the Programmes section of irf.ua - Briefly describe the idea, target audience and goal to staff of the relevant programme (contacts in the Team section) - Download the application and budget forms from the Contests and Tenders page and complete them in Ukrainian - Register the organisation and submit the project through the Electronic Competition system at contests.irf.ua; email or paper applications are not accepted - Receive a registration notice within a week and await the Expert Council decision, usually within 1-2 months **Questions and answers:** - Q: Can I submit a project to the International Renaissance Foundation when there is no suitable call? A: Yes. The foundation reviews non-competition proposals with no fixed deadline if the idea fits its strategy and the priorities of one of its five programmes. Submission is through the Electronic Competition system. - Q: How long does the review of a non-competition application take? A: Usually one to two months. Foundation staff assess the application first, then the programme Expert Council and sometimes the Board; the foundation does not explain refusals.
