Location: Ukraine
Deadline: 23 March 2026 at 23:59 Kyiv time

This is an opportunity to continue developing culture and civil society in Ukraine despite the war.

Receive up to EUR 10,000 for an artwork, event, digitisation of cultural heritage or administrative costs and staff training. You will have three months to implement your idea — until the end of July 2026. Look for inspiration among the winners of the past wave.

The programme is offered by the Goethe-Institut Ukraine as part of the Resilience Fund project. This is one of the thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
