The project “EU4Youth IV: Youth Engagement and Empowerment,” implemented with the support of the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in partnership with the Ukrainian Youth Foundation, has announced the results of the small grants competition for Ukrainian youth community organizations.

This initiative aimed to support organizations working with young people, fostering innovative approaches to youth engagement, and promoting more active youth participation in Ukraine’s recovery.

The grant program was aimed at improving the quality of youth work, increasing youth engagement, and encouraging their active participation in the country’s rebuilding processes. Under the competition’s terms, each organization had the opportunity to receive a grant of up to €15,000 to implement their initiatives.

More than 250 applications were submitted by community organizations from the Eastern Partnership countries! Through a thorough selection process, nine Ukrainian organizations were chosen as winners, whose projects most effectively align with the program’s priority areas.

The winners of the “EU4Youth IV” grant competition in Ukraine:

• NGO “Institute of Creative Innovations”

• NGO “Union of Youth Organizations of Vinnytsia Region”

Given the current security situation, the award ceremony and orientation session for the winners were held online. During the session, participants received essential information on grant management, financial reporting, and organizational aspects to ensure the successful implementation of their projects.

Thanks to the support of the “EU4Youth IV” project, the selected initiatives of Ukrainian youth organizations will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the development of an inclusive society and strengthen the role of youth in the country’s recovery.
