With this initiative, the Foundation seeks to strengthen the practice of financing significant public initiatives through crowdfunding – raising funds from citizens.
With International Renaissance Foundation support, community organizations that implement cultural projects and raise community funds will gain additional opportunities to deliver their ideas.
To assist the organizations selected in the first phase, the Renaissance Foundation, together with its partners, is organizing a one-day crowdfunding workshop to be held in early April in Kyiv.
Funding Information
- The maximum amount that the Fund will co-finance under this initiative is UAH 150,000.
- Campaign preparation and running time is no more than 6 months from the submission of the application selection notice.
- If the crowdfunding is successful – the Foundation will fund the project of the NGO in an amount equal to the amount raised through the crowdfunding (but not more than the purpose of the campaign).
Participants of the competition: Non-governmental organizations, public associations, charitable foundations registered in any region of Ukraine are invited to participate in the competition.
