The partners of the National Consortium PULSE have announced a microgrant competition for non-governmental and charitable organisations working in the field of social, legal and psychosocial support.
The competition covers eight regions of Ukraine — Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv. Its goal is to help communities solve humanitarian and social problems, as well as to strengthen the capacity of local organisations that support vulnerable groups.

Priority beneficiary groups include children, women, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, war victims, veterans, and families of deceased and missing soldiers, representatives of Roma communities and other vulnerable groups.
Organisations can submit projects in three areas:
- comprehensive social, legal and psychosocial support for civilians affected by the war;
- gender equality and combating gender-based violence;
- development of inclusive communities and creation of accessible infrastructure.
The maximum amount of a single microgrant is 548,800 hryvnia, and the project duration is up to four months. Implementation is scheduled to begin on 1 December 2025 and end by 31 March 2026.
Applications will be accepted until 9:00 a.m. on 24 November 2025 via an online form. The application form, project budget and founding documents of the organisation must be attached to the questionnaire.
Applications may be submitted by registered non-profit organisations operating in the controlled territories of Ukraine that have the managerial and financial capacity to implement the project. If necessary, applications from newly established organisations or those with larger budget requests may be considered, provided they are duly justified.
Applications will be evaluated by the Selection Committee based on five criteria: quality of the programme component, focus on the target group, budget compliance, institutional capacity, and innovative approaches. All participants in the competition will receive the results of the selection process.
