In the difficult conditions of war, social entrepreneurs in Ukraine continue to create projects with social value. However, in order to remain viable and scale up, social initiatives need stable funding. This is the topic of the latest training module for participants in the third cohort of the REDpreneurUA Programme.

Participants will learn where to find support for development and what resources can help businesses grow even in times of crisis. The programme covers various forms of fundraising, from grants and investments to modern crowdfunding tools. In particular, it focuses on platforms that allow businesses to share their ideas with a wide audience and attract support from anyone who is willing to help.
The training module focuses on practical skills: how to prepare an effective fundraising campaign, how to properly design an initiative page, how to tell a story in a way that inspires trust and a desire to get involved. A separate emphasis is placed on combining several sources of funding to ensure business sustainability.
The training partner is School of ME, a school of conscious entrepreneurship that helps businesses think strategically, scale up and maintain their social orientation.
The REDpreneurUA programme is implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross in partnership with the Austrian Red Cross and with the support of the Neighbour in Need Foundation (Austria). It was created to develop social entrepreneurship and strengthen the economic capacity of vulnerable groups.
