Deadline: 1-Aug-25
Applications are currently being accepted for funding to support Environmental and Publicly Beneficial Projects aimed at promoting volunteerism, enhancing environmental awareness, and advancing community-driven initiatives.
This program is designed to support efforts that foster youth development, improve living standards—particularly for vulnerable populations—and introduce innovative tools that empower local communities to implement meaningful social and environmental change.
The core goal of the initiative is to identify and back projects that have the potential to positively impact youth, strengthen the quality of life within communities, and improve environmental conditions in participating countries.
In doing so, the program seeks to catalyze the emergence of new strategies for social innovation and deepen collaboration with local non-profit organizations (NPOs), community leaders, and civil society actors. By investing in initiatives with grassroots engagement, the program also aims to strengthen civil society and build lasting partnerships across sectors.
The objectives of this effort are rooted in encouraging the creation and implementation of new solutions that address pressing social and environmental challenges. It aims to support the growth and sustainability of NPOs and youth movements that have been operational for at least two years in the eligible countries.
These organizations may include youth-led groups, cultural and educational institutions, and other formally recognized public formations that are actively contributing to their communities through socially significant projects. Through this support, the initiative hopes to promote long-term development and deepen ties between local stakeholders and regional partners.
The program provides financial support ranging from a minimum of 250,000 rubles to a maximum of 500,000 rubles per project. All funded projects are expected to be completed within a timeframe of three to twelve months from the date funding is received.
This funding is meant to assist organizations in implementing targeted activities that drive tangible improvements in their communities and environments.
Eligible projects span a wide array of focus areas. These include initiatives that engage children and youth in volunteer service, develop digital tools for NGOs and volunteer networks, and promote eco-volunteering and environmental education.
Projects aimed at improving ecological conditions, advancing animal welfare, and encouraging active lifestyles and sports are also supported. Additionally, initiatives that work directly with vulnerable population groups, offering targeted assistance or creating inclusive opportunities for participation, are welcomed.
The program is open to officially registered non-profit organizations, youth associations, and volunteer groups operating in India, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
These organizations must be involved in ecological and community-focused projects to qualify. However, groups that are currently undergoing suspension, restructuring, or bankruptcy proceedings are not eligible to participate in the competition.
This funding opportunity presents a valuable chance for civil society organizations to expand their impact, strengthen their networks, and develop sustainable, high-impact projects that contribute to the well-being of both people and the planet.
