ISAR Ednannia, in partnership with GlobalGiving, has announced the results of the grant competition “Community Sparks: ISAR Ednannia and GlobalGiving Partnership for Resilience.”
The competition aims to support local civil society organizations that develop services for their communities, create safe spaces, help people navigate challenging times, and bring residents together around shared solutions.
This year, the competition generated significant interest within the civil society sector. A total of 137 organizations from across Ukraine submitted their ideas and initiatives. Following a thorough selection process, an expert committee identified 24 winners whose projects will receive support for implementation.
The selected initiatives include projects that promote inclusion, support veterans, assist families in crisis situations, create youth and community spaces, strengthen community safety, and develop local social services.
