Within the framework of the competition, local government bodies and communal institutions can receive grant support ranging from UAH 500,000 to UAH 2 million for the implementation of priority emergency response measures, restoration of basic services, and strengthening community resilience.
Grant funds can be directed towards supporting and emergency repairs of critical infrastructure, restoring damaged medical and educational facilities, improving conditions in temporary housing for internally displaced and evacuated persons, as well as preparing communities for seasonal and emergency risks. This includes providing backup power for critical facilities, setting up heating points and shelters, and creating safer and more resilient conditions for community residents.

The application period will last until June 14, 2026.
