Applications now open for Documenting Ukraine Grants

These one-time grants enable Ukrainian intellectuals and creative professionals to work on documentation projects that establish and preserve a factual record—whether through reporting, gathering published source material, collecting oral testimony, or other means—or bring meaning to events through artistic interpretation and intellectual reflection.

Funding Information

• Grants: 5000 EUR

Eligibility Criteria

• They welcome applications from academics from any discipline, public intellectuals, writers, publishers, artists (including but not limited to documentary filmmakers and photographers), archivists and preservationists, media professionals and journalists.
• The priority is to support people currently residing in Ukraine; at the same time, they do recognize the importance and relevance of projects from outside Ukraine and their authors are also welcomed to submit their applications.
• They are not equipped to work with projects that deal with legal aspects of war crimes, materials which are legally intended for use in international and national courts. Moreover, due to ethical concerns they largely abstain from projects which involve minors.
• Only individuals can apply for a grant, but in your application, you can state that you apply on behalf of a team/an NGO.
• Applicants working on fictional pieces are welcome to apply.
• Documenting Ukraine is a multilingual project. Although application submissions in English are preferred, they also accept applications written in Ukrainian. Results of the grant do not need to be translated into English – Ukrainian is perfectly fine.
• You may apply again even if your project was previously rejected/supported by them.
