The NGO Insha Osvita is launching the first grant competition within the “Culture Helps Solidarity” initiative, aimed at supporting cultural and social projects working with veterans and people who have been forced to leave their homes due to the war.
The competition supports initiatives that help people in war-affected communities rebuild connections, meet, share experiences and restore trust through culture.
Priority is given to projects working with:
- internally displaced persons in Ukraine and abroad;
- veterans;
- communities where social ties have been disrupted or people are experiencing emotional exhaustion due to the war.
Projects may take various formats, including co-creation, participatory practices, experimental art, storytelling, or mobile and accessible cultural formats.
The grant amounts to up to €7,000 per project. Funding may be used for:
- production;
- venue rental;
- marketing;
- materials;
- IT services;
- and, in some cases, equipment purchase.
It can also cover travel costs, expert fees, legal services, operational expenses, and team salaries.
Co-financing is not mandatory but is encouraged, with the grant expected to cover up to 80% of the project budget. Project duration is up to 6 months, starting no earlier than 1 July 2026.
Applications can be submitted until 16 April 2026 via the provided link.
